Howard offered the image of how future cities should be back at the time when people started to realize the importance of city planning, such as public health, economic efficiency and quality of individual life.
I am an urban planning scholar from China. I am curious about your negative comments on the garden city in the video. I hope you can explain your point of view in more detail. Thank you.
I'd argue that most of Germany is made up of garden cities. They may not be that way intentionally, and certainly don't follow the circular design associated with garden cities, but they are none the less garden cities in concept. In Kaiserslautern municipality, Kaiserslautern is the major industrial and commercial hub. In between it and it's smaller towns is usually around 1 mile of green space. These smaller satellite towns are usually 1 square mile with a population usually between 1,000-10,000 surrounded by several hundred acres of woods and farmland. They may not all have rail linking them, but usually there are limited access arteries connecting the towns together and to the main city. Most of the towns can be driven to without having to drive through another town which reduces the amount of traffic within the towns. Each town has it's own character and its own government. Since their local government only has to concentrate on a small area, they are better able to beatify it and make their small patch of town a very livable one for their residents.
I just want to point out that when you look for industry you want cooperatives, normal capitalist industry's will not like a georgist land value tax, so you'd have to get coops on board. If you cant get coops to join then you'd have to ditch the land value tax as well as the whole collectively owned city thing. This is what ebenezer Howard had to do when he built his first and only city, and it resulted in absurdly high rent and housing prices, leading to the inhabitants mainly being rich land owners rather than workers.
For detached housing along with individualized transport grant absolute freedom and independence to the people, all residential areas shall be low-density.
i mean it is not ebenezer's fault to demagnatize these cities. this is literally capitalism. now we have tons of tons of private cars that f*cks up the whole structure of our cities and expand it infinetly. i wish there was a way to self-manage these garden cities so citizens have a say in these situations. also, a self-managed industry would be awesome and would be inline with this city project. Howard got his ideas from kropotkin so he would be happy if this came into being. unfortunate that we don't go that path and i am certain if we do went that path we would be succesful for doing so if the mainframe of our economic structure is different.

This was WONDERFULLY done. Ignore the naysayers about the narration style; I loved it! It was -- magnetic! And beautifully written!
If you had lived there as I did, you would see what a balls up they made of it.

Good summary of the practical steps involved in setting something like this up
Very interesting - reminds me immediately of permaculture, eco villages, and Auroville, India in particular.
