Who was Ebenezer Howard?
Sir Ebenezer Howard OBE is known for his publication Garden Cities of To-morrow, the description of a utopian city in which people live harmoniously together with nature. The publication resulted in the founding of the garden city movement, that realised several Garden Cities in Great Britain at the beginning of the 20th century. This movement influenced the development of several model suburbs such as Forest Hills Gardens designed by F. L. Olmsted Jr. in 1909, Radburn NJ and the Suburban Resettlement Program towns of the 1930s.
