The idea was initiated in 1898 by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the United Kingdom . </P> <P> Inspired by the utopian novel Looking Backward and Henry George's work Progress and Poverty, Howard published the book To - morrow: a Peaceful Path to Real Reform in 1898 (which was reissued in 1902 as Garden Cities of To - morrow). His idealised garden city would house 32,000 people on a site of 6,000 acres (2,400 ha), planned on a concentric pattern with open spaces, public parks and six radial boulevards, 120 ft (37 m) wide, extending from the centre . The garden city would be self - sufficient and when it reached full population, another garden city would be developed nearby . Howard envisaged a cluster of several garden cities as satellites of a central city of 58,000 people, linked by road and rail . </P>
