The main idea of British garden city is to reverse urbanization and return to nature, because in the process of industrialization at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, the urbanization process in Britain was too rapid, and the environment and quality of life of the city were greatly affected. Urbanization has brought many problems to people's lives, such as social contradictions, environmental pollution, traffic congestion and so on. As a result, people began to reflect on the process of urbanization and advocate returning to nature and anti-urbanization. Looking for a more harmonious, healthy and natural way of life, the concept of garden city is to create a living environment similar to the countryside in the city, so that residents can enjoy a beautiful and quiet life in nature and avoid problems in the process of urbanization.
