Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the history of urban planning. One key figure is Ebenezer Howard, who proposed the 'Garden City' concept in 1898. Howard's idea was to combine the benefits of city and countryside, creating self-contained communities surrounded by greenbelts. His plan included residential areas, industry, and agriculture, all within walking distance. Importantly, he limited the population to about 32,000 people to ensure adequate space and resources. However, critics later noted that his model lacked provisions for large-scale transportation and heavy industry, which limited its practical application in growing metropolises.
