Garden Cities. Instead of being a community in which gardens are the dominant feature, the garden- city form of urban dwelling-place implies primarily an industrial town of limited size and of definitely advanced economic ideals. While there were in England, where the idea originated, several prior developments, the example which has best typified the aims and practicability of the garden city is that sometimes known as Letchworth, but actually named Garden City, in Hertfordshire, about thirty-five miles from London. The genesis of this enterprise appears to have been in the reception given to a little book entitled "To-morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform," issued in 1898, and written by Ebenezer Howard, then a London stenographer. The stated purpose was "to organize a migratory movement of population from our over-crowded centers to sparsely settled rural communities." In detail, Howard proposed "to find for our industrial population work at wages of higher purchasing power, and to secure healthier surroundings and more regular employment. To enterprising manufacturies, cooperative societies, architects, engineers, builders and mechanicians of all kinds, as well as to many engaged in various professions, it is intended to offer a means of securing new and better employment for their capital and talents, while to agriculturists it is designed to open a new market for their produce close to their doors.
