Basics
- A movement in Urban Planning where cities are directly surrounded by a Green Belt (Land Use) of undeveloped, or agricultural land, with the occasional transportation channel cutting through the green belt
- Originated in 1898 by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the United Kingdom, and continued through the early 1900's as an urban planning philosophy
- Support has waned, but some supporters still exist
- Similar to the idea of the OSE Campus, but at a larger scale (ie urban)
- Was heavily based on the culture + needs + technology of the time, so some features (such as transportation, and distance from industrial zones) will need to be adapted to modern standards
- Serves a few functions
- Providing the "best of both worlds" of rural and urban communities
- Spreading out the downtown into smaller downtowns
- Providing moore macess to green/natural space for the community
- Improving Walkability/Reducing need of cars (IF (and I mean IF) done properly)
How to Modernize the Concept
Mass Transit
Misc
- Keep most agriculture in the outer green belt, replace with gardens, and indoor farms in the industrial zones, as well as small "you pick" style Edible Forest gardens
