	Garden city movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The garden city movement was founded by Ebenezer Howard in England in 1898 as an approach to urban planning.
		Garden cities were to be planned, self-contained communities surrounded by greenbelts, and containing carefully balanced areas of residences, industry, and agriculture.
		The garden city movement also influenced the British urbanist Sir Patrick Geddes in the planning of Tel-Aviv, Israel.

	City Planning
		Although the majority of garden cities grew into viable units, they remained isolated and ineffective to alleviate the results of population explosion.
		In his plans for the development of Vienna's District XXII (1911), he outlined a Classicist monumental project that was to combine a variety of types in a large "town within a town" for a population of 150000.
		Garnier's industrial city of 35000 in habitants was not only a regional centre of medium size, sensitively related to its environment, but also an urban organization that anticipated in its separate zoning the principles of the CIAM Athens Charter of 1933.
