The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard(1850－1928)．After immigrating from England to the USA，and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer，he moved to Chicago，where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871.In those days，it was nicknamed“the Garden City”，almost certainly the source of Howard's name for his later building plan of towns.Returning to London，Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s，drawing on ideas that were popular at the time，but creating a unique combination of designs.
