Welwyn Garden City – a vision for social reform
Garden Cities grew from one man’s vision and inspired a movement for global change. Horrified at the urban squalor that followed rapid industrialisation in Britain, Ebenezer Howard envisaged a new form of settlement where everyone could enjoy fresh air and open space, alongside the opportunities for jobs and amenities found in cities. As Welwyn Garden City celebrates its centenary in 2020, Tony Skottowe explores the original vision of the Garden City movement and where Sir Ebenezer Howard drew his inspiration.
