Summary: "Garden Cities of To-Morrow" by Sir Ebenezer Howard is a pioneering work on urban planning and social reform written during the early 20th century. The book addresses the pressing issues of urban overcrowding and the need for a new model of living that combines the benefits of both city and rural life. Howard proposes the concept of garden cities—self-contained communities surrounded by greenbelts that incorporate housing, industry, and agriculture in a harmonious way. The opening of the book lays out the groundwork for the need to create a new societal structure to address the problems caused by urbanization. It presents the idea of "Town-Country magnets," which would draw people away from congested urban centers and back to healthier, attractive rural areas. Howard discusses various societal issues, including the decline of agricultural communities and the potential for garden cities to serve as viable alternatives, wherein residents can enjoy both the leisurely aspects of rural life and the economic benefits of urban areas. The early chapters establish the ideological framework and practical considerations for creating this innovative living environment. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
