The Garden City was an urban planning approach founded in the UK at the end of the 19th century by Sir Ebenezer Howard to help remedy the squalor of life in cities that had evolved with the Industrial Age. Garden cities were intended to be planned, self-contained communities surrounded by green belts containing carefully balanced areas of residences, industry, agriculture and recreation. Tenets of the Garden City Movement have continued to be relevant over time. Our symposium will look at connections between the ideas of William Morris and the garden city, and the ongoing influence of the garden city concept. Registration includes lunch, with a toast to William Morris and a special birthday cake.
