Location
Letchworth Garden City - Designed in the early 20th Century to combine the benefits of town and country living. Letchworth Garden city was the world’s first example of this concept and succeeds to this day in achieving its aim. It continues to provide attractive landscaped open spaces and large green areas such as the 63-acre Norton Common, as well as excellent schools, shops, and leisure facilities.
Letchworth Garden City is a town in north Hertfordshire. The town's name is taken from one of the three villages it absorbed (the other two being Willian and Norton) all of which featured in the Domesday Book. The town was laid out by Raymond Unwin as a demonstration of the principles established by Ebenezer Howard who sought to create an alternative to the industrial city by combining the best of town and country living.
As one of the world's first new towns and the first garden city it had great influence on future town planning. A competition was held to find a town design which could translate Howard's ideas into reality, and September 1903 the company "First Garden City Ltd." was formed, Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin were appointed architects, and 16 km of land outside Hitchin were purchased for building. In keeping with the ideals only one tree was felled during the entire initial construction phase of the town, and an area surrounding the town was included in the plan - the first "Green Belt".
