| Attempts at Creating the
Ideal City

|
The attempt at creating the ideal city is as
natural as the change in day and night. In the twentieth century, the
most talked about attempt was by a London-born Ebenezer Howard who
proposed the recreation of the Garden of Eden in his book of 1898,
edited by Osborn, Garden Cities of Tomorrow. The idea was first
realized in the town called Letchworth
and later, the New Towns. The first of such a new town in Malaysia
is Petaling Jaya followed by Subang Jaya and numerous housing schemes on
previously unbuilt land, each identified by the name Garden.
