A modern practical guide showing how Garden City ideas can be applied in today's planning context.
The Garden City Opportunity – A Guide for Councils

The TCPA’s The Garden City Opportunity  guide offers a modern perspective on Ebenezer Howard’s original Garden City vision. It emphasizes how councils can create new communities that combine the best of town and country: affordable homes, green spaces, sustainable transport, and strong local economies. The guide highlights principles like long-term stewardship, mixed-income housing, and climate resilience, aiming to build places that are socially inclusive, environmentally sustainable, and economically vibrant. Learners are encouraged to review this guide to understand how the Garden City model can still inspire solutions to today’s urban challenges.
