Preferred term

Ebenezer Howard  

Definition

  • Ebenezer Howard (1850–1928) played a central role in the evolution of urban planning, beginning around the turn of the 20th century. Howard's significance goes beyond bringing many contemporary reform strands together into a coherent form in the garden city idea and shaping the garden city movement; in addition, his ideas provided a vehicle for individuals who developed formative modern planning notions.
