Letchworth Garden City was founded in 1903 as the world’s first garden city, inspired by Ebenezer Howard’s vision of planned communities combining town and country. Its layout, green spaces, Arts and Crafts architecture and community facilities influenced town planning around the world. The town grew with manufacturing, civic buildings and schools, while keeping broad avenues and open spaces. Today Letchworth offers renters a distinctive planned-town environment with rail links to London and Cambridge.
