Ebenezer Howards' Garden City
Ebenezer Howard's plans for his ideal new town, the Garden City, included insane asylums around the more rural outskirts of the city centre. His goal was to recapture the 'wholesomeness' of pre-industrial life by designing an ideal town housing around 30,000 people with principles of quiet, healthful air, greenery and fresh produce. Farms around the outside would provide food for the town and any industry was placed on the outer ring of the plan.
