Letchworth
is the world's First Garden City, established by the founder
of the Garden City movement , Ebenezer Howard , in 1903. Howard wanted to
combine the advantages of town and country living, whilst avoiding
the disadvantages of
both. The original Garden City plans were drawn up by architects Barry Parker
and Raymond Unwin , to include parks and open spaces, with
tree lined streets and low density housing .
