1899 Garden City Association formed to promote the ideas of Ebenezer Howard for planned new garden cities in Britain to reintroduce people to the land in new settlements, and to relieve the overcrowding of London and other large cities. The association included members of the Land Nationalisation Society, committed to the more equitable distribution of land, Fabian socialists and New Liberal progressives.
