garden village
Residential green enclave
A garden village is a planned residential community designed with abundant green space, low housing density, and integration of homes with natural surroundings.
The concept emerged from early 20th-century urban planning ideals that sought alternatives to crowded industrial cities.
Garden villages typically feature tree-lined streets, communal gardens, and architecture meant to harmonize with the landscape: The original garden village was built for factory workers seeking escape from urban squalor.
