Garden City
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
A planning ideal that combines the advantages of the city (opportunity, social interaction) and the countryside (nature, low cost). Through satellite towns, green belts surround the city to control its size and prevent endless urban sprawl.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
A spatial solution for balancing life. It is the intellectual origin of modern suburbanization and new towns. In personal life design, seeking a 'digital nomad base' or a 'paradise on the outskirts of a big city' is essentially searching for one's own Garden City—balancing connection and isolation.
Anchor fast decisions
The Garden City is an urban planning concept proposed by Ebenezer Howard, which replaces crowded metropolises with self-sufficient, medium-sized cities surrounded by green belts, integrating urban and rural areas to balance life and production.
