Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to discuss the history of urban planning. One key figure is Ebenezer Howard, who proposed the idea of the 'Garden City' in 1898. He believed that cities should combine the benefits of town and country, with green spaces and limited population. His plan influenced many later developments, but it wasn't always implemented as he imagined. For example, in Letchworth, the first Garden City, the original design included a central park and a surrounding agricultural belt. However, over time, the population grew beyond his recommended limit of 32,000, and some green areas were converted to housing. So, while his vision had a lasting impact, practical pressures often changed the outcome.
