The Garden City Movement in Asia: Evolution and Modern Legacies
Briefly

Ebenezer Howard's Garden City Movement, which emerged as a response to industrial urbanization in the early 1900s, has had a lasting impact on city planning beyond Britain. His concept of self-contained communities, surrounded by green belts, promoted a holistic approach to urban living. As Asian cities grapple with intense urbanization and the unique constraints of their environments, planners have adapted Howard's vision into diverse urban projects, blending his ideals with local context, resulting in innovative designs that resonate even in the 21st century.

Asian cities conceived their archetypes, juggling local constraints in climate and density, embracing Howard's vision into contemporary mega-projects.
