Abstract

EBENEZER HOWARD (1850-1928), WHO WROTE 'TOMORROW : A PEACEFUL PATH TO REAL REFORM' IN 1898, PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN DEVELOPMENT OF TOWN PLANNING. HE SAID THAT THE PRINCIPLE OF GARDEN CITY IS 'MARRIAGE OF TOWN AND COUNTRY'. HOWEVER, HIS VISION ON COUNTRY PLANNING HAS RECEIVED RELATIVELY LITTLE ATTENTION. VIEWING FROM THE PROGRESS OF HOWARD'S THOUGHTS ON PLANNING AND THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT OF LETCHWORTH, THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS WERE OBTAINED. HE HAD DEEP CONCERN ABOUT HOW TO REALISE CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY RATHER THAN HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF RURAL DEPOPULATION. THE DEVELOPMENT OF LETCHWORTH WAS LED MAINLY BY THE GARDEN CITY ASSOCIATION, WHICH THOUGHT RURAL PROBLEM WAS NOT THE PRIMARY CONCERN FOR THEM. HOWEVER, IN HIS CONCEPTION, HOWARD THOUGHT THAT GARDEN CITY SHOULD BE SELF-CONTAINED AND SUSTAINABLE, AND SHOULD HAVE CIRCULATION SYSTEM IN ITSELF
