these people are so crazy. we evolved cities and the one thing all cities share is they are not preplanned and constantly change based on the needs of the residents. planned spaces run counter to this, and they almost always are just trying to copy city living but worse and without the ability to change. even now, 'fixing' suburbs is just turning them into tried and true cities

Edwardian period

Fantastic video!! I would love to see more like this.

The Line 16 to La Jolla ONLY lasted for 16 years, from 1924-1940! Now THAT was a bad investment, as it should have been built much EARLIER before cars became too popular!

Can we add a gondola between sorento valley coaster station and the UCSD Health La Jolla trolley stop a la Portland Aerial Tram?

The worlds fairs happened at the same time all over the world as an excuse to destroy the old kingdom and erase our history

I grew up in the 2nd Garden City. 1st from 1976 to 1990 in Pangshanger to the east, a sub district of wgc and then in the oldest part of the town on the west side near Stanbrough Lakes my Grandfather and Grandmother moved out of Stepney Green in the Eastern of London. She was a Bona fide "Cockney" as she was born in earshot of Bow Belles, the Church along Stepney Green High Steet. Just in time as my Father was born on the 6thof September 1939, he live on rations till 1957.

It was a booster for the cities as a whole. It brought many people to San Francisco especially after the 1906 fire and earthquake. It was to show even nature couldn't crush the spirit of San Francisco. Btw, it was the PROGRESSIVEs led by Margaret Sanger who promoted eugenics in order to prevent immigrants (Catholics largely) and of course the black Americans and the Asians from reproducing more than the

You describe how Ebenezer Howard’s ideas were developed in the USA and unfortunately led to car-dependent suburban sprawl. But in the UK Howard’s principles were given practical expression in the new towns programme, which remained much closer to his ideals. Many new towns were built from the late 1940s until the early 1980s, when the neo-liberal Thatcher government halted their construction for political reasons. But the Labour Party have promised to re-start the construction of new towns if they return to government in 2024. For a recent highly successful urban extension built on updated garden city (new urbanist) principles, see King Charles’s Poundbury development in Dorset.

@blini are u single

The Victorian Era ended in 1901 before the fairs were even planned

During WWI, the US Federal Government built their first housing projects. One in particular was Hiddenwood in Warwick County, VA. It was built to house workers for the nearby Newport News Shipbuilding. Along the main highway was shopping and a theatre. The housing became less dense the further from the main road with the largest houses along the river. The facades were chosen to match a rural English village. The ideas discussed here are visible in the community's design.

Great video!

Narration is too fast and sounds like AI.

He's correct. There is an observed issue in many countries where cities are highly populated to the point of congestion. Country side villages are aging and dying out as all the wealth trickles into fewer and fewer hands. By wealth I'm referring to buying power. Many people in the US can afford to buy a house in rural Wyoming, but who wants to? How would you make a living? Our world is set up in a weird way that is not easy to fix.

Exposing old world buildings that were built by the prior civilization. One big masonic brouhaha. History is a lie.

Maybe the most important video I have seen in a year. Incredible job, explaining such an amazing topic that was so important and was somehow lost to modern times. Reminds me of the new 15 min city movement.

I have lived in a gated community in South Africa similar to the car friendly garden city, well a suburb with elements similar to it. Lots of inter-connected parks connected by foot paths, including a walkable distance community centre and school access able 100% through these foot paths. So I think the concept of combining that with a garden city concept is definately feasible and should be tried again. It just needs rail, so that cars are only an option rather than the only way in like the idea tested in 1929.

Great information with a clear narrative. Thanks very much for this.

Nice story!

I’ve lived in WGC my whole life. I wish ebenezer got a chance to do more. Great video.

Yeah so when i realized that ancient Macedonians spoke with a French accent it improved my understanding of some critical thinking. That’s cleopatra to Herod the great etc.. it matters it really does. Nations don’t keep their flags the colors of their enemies nor share name trends etc. so it helps to know these things to understand political situations. Like when two nations fight a war that are really on the same team and draw in their enemy to help one side of the conflict, so they send billions of military aid one side only to have that side, switch sides back to the opposing side and voila! Ruse complete lol

Fun fact: in Germany 2 years prior to Ebenezer Howard, the radical antisemite Theodor Fritsch first proposed a garden city which was basically the same as Howards conception. He became extremely mad when Howards garden city became more popular also in Germany than his concept.

Welp. Nicolas was right. The uprisings and revolts, were manipulated by the Jews called the Rothschilds. He was truly a King who loved his Country, his people, his family, his Church. God bless the Romanovs

Great video, suburban sprawl has been becoming a large problem in most industrial countries and I think that if governments would somehow revive the garden city idea it would fix a lot of problems with modern life.

Very educational!

The Constitution of Great Urbanism For detached housing along with individualized transport grant absolute freedom and independence to the people, all residential areas shall be low-density.

My dad was a motorman on the SDERy from the late 1930s through their closing in 1949. He stayed on with SD Transit until the early 70s. I was a Train Operator on the current SD Trolley system in the 1990s and recently retired from the company after 27 years. It’s a shame you weren’t able to show the current vintage streetcar Silver Line that operates PCC cars similar to the one at the museum. Also of note, is the vast difference in the SDERy streetcar system and the modern SD Trolley light rail. The light rail system operates on city streets only in downtown, and never shares the streets with cars. The majority of the system is on private right-of-way and the newer segments are 100% grade separated. The streetcars operated as single units with a modest capacity. SD light rail trains operate much larger 80’ long cars that can run with up to four cars per train. That’s capacity for as many as 650 passengers on a single train. Getting 65 passengers on an old streetcar would have been difficult. Great video. I enjoyed it very much.

At about 8 minutes, you say the only other notable remnant of a world's fair (besides San Diego's California Tower) is the Eiffel Tower, but some may find Seattle's Space Needle notable too. All in all, though, thank you for an interesting, well-put-together video.

Ya right they built it from scratch just to destroy it a week later. Who could believe such nonsense????

When it comes to Italy; we have enjoyed and both suffered from "Italy" being almost a solely geographic appellative up until perhaps about a century prior to unification. Even for the lay Italian, they would not have considered themselves as such nor as being from there, but rather a Milanese from Lombardy, a Florentine from Tuscany, or a Genoese from Leghorn. Nevertheless, the notion of a unified Italy, composed of either a federation of states or under one crown, goes back certainly at least to Cesare Borgia, in the late 15th century, but he was ambushed and killed whilst in the preliminary stages of rallying several potent families in Italy. These ideals, even then, rested upon the contemplation and aim toward the great achievements of Rome, of the greatest city states, its centrality in Catholicism, etc., as unifying myths. Of course, the Borgias, being who they were, and attempting to align houses like Sforza, Medici, and Orsini, were likely attempting this feat to crystallize their hegemony and richness for then and always, upon the backs of a unified (ie, more easily controlled) populace. Cool video!

I tell everyone about this nobody’s seems to know 🎉

He got them Furby eyes

Nice work. You need more graphics, and more polish. I am a history teacher for 40 years. You earn an A+.

You really swam away at the end of this video

Great vid!

hi, welwyn is pronounced like well-in, no W sound, just so you know

From the Highway Defense Act, The Eugenics and Modernist movements, the HOA etc. etc.. All have been the product of goverment state and central planning.

Great video. I'll watch your other videos as well. Would this be considered, "National history"?

I’d rather civilization burn than live in a city. Too crowded. Way too crowded.

One of the funny stories to come out of this was Franz Lipp appointed to the Foreign Ministry, he had a history of mental health problems...He declared war on Württemburg and Switzerland when the Swiss refused to send 60 locomotives, he also claimed to be acquainted to Pope Benedict XV, he informed informed Vladimir Lenin by cable that when the previous minister fled, he took also took off with the keys to the ministry toilet... I would like to have a fly on Lenins wall when that cable came through

I got this recommended by Yt. The algorithm is on your side on this one :) greetings from the Netherlands

Sad you didn't talk about the world's largest 'garden city' - Chandigarh, India with 2 million inhabitants if you include satelite towns who themselves are a copy of Chandigarh. It's a planned city, one of the largest in the world, built on garden city and Brutalist principles. It was Le Corbusier's magnum opus and remains India's one of most beloved and best cities to live in. I lived there for 19 years before moving away for college, fee free to ask me about it.

Welwyn garden city, didn't realize it had an interesting history.

Hello from Nowa Huta, the Polish Soviet garden city!

Great video, keep it up!

Thank God people like you are actually talking about this. I live in the Suburbs of Lansing and it's ludicrously large compared to the city proper. You know what was on the outskirts of Lansing before Suburbs? Forests, farmland and parks. It's almost disgusting when I see 300k suburban houses sell in the middle of the what used to be countryside.

well done

great work

Incredible video
