"Howard read widely, including Edward Bellamy's 1900 utopian novel Looking Backward and thought deeply about social issues.

One result was his book (1898) titled To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform"

How can a result of reading a book published in 1900 be his own book published in 1898?

That is because the date of Looking Backward's publication date is wrong, according to another Wikipedia article. It is just sloppy and a coordination issue.Gary Joseph 00:12, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are a number of other cities founded according to the rules created by Ebenezer Howard, such us Podkowa Lesna in Poland.

I dispute the current wording that Howard called for "new suburban towns of limited size" - the point of Garden Cities were that they were small _cities_, very different from our modern conception of suburbs - "residential areas on the outskirts of a city or large town." as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suburb says. If no one objects I would like to have a go at rewording this more succinctly (I am an Urban Planning postgrad student, doing a paper on Garden Cities currently). -- Patrick Sunter, 20 April 2008.

No objection. He set a target of around 30,000, did he not?Verne Equinox (talk) 03:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently he was a shorthand-writer for Hansard — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.117.35.236 (talk) 15:42, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
