Garden cities are urban centers deliberately designed to include large areas of gardens and trees. Town planning experts in the United Kingdom first used the term in the late 1800’s. The classic British examples, which led to the post-World War II New Town concept, were Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City, in Hertfordshire, England. In Australia at the beginning of the 1900’s, certain town planners tried to introduce similar ideas, but only two examples were built. They were Colonel Light Gardens, a suburb of Adelaide, and Dacey Garden Suburb, in Sydney.
