　　社会生活类

　　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.

　　The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place,dirty and crowded;but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time,the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive:though it promised fresh air and nature,it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages,nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement,the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company,borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside,far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
