📖 Title

Garden Cities of To-Morrow
(Being the Second Edition of “To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform”)

First published in 1898 under the title To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform and reissued in 1902 as Garden Cities of To-Morrow, this influential work laid the foundation for modern urban planning.

Howard proposed the creation of “garden cities” — self-contained communities surrounded by greenbelts, combining the economic and social advantages of city life with the health and beauty of the countryside. His vision inspired the development of towns such as Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City in England, as well as later “new towns” around the world.
