- Walt Disney: "Walt spent time on deck with books about city planning and universities as he developed his plans for Epcot and CalArts including Garden Cities of To-morrow by Ebenezer Howard (re-issued in 1965)." source ↗
Summary
Ebenezer Howard's 1898 plan for decentralised cities that combine the best of town and country, with greenbelts, cooperative land ownership, and self-contained communities limited to 32,000 people. Howard's garden-city model directly influenced twentieth-century urban design from British new towns to American suburbs, and Walt Disney studied it while designing the original EPCOT concept.
