General characters description and diffusion
They integrate green areas by achieving a significant thermal balance and creating the most favourable microclimate. Practices are reused by bioarchitecture and modern city planning.
Advantages and sustainability
Garden towns are beneficial because they create a microclimate where grain can be stored, trade can be carried out, and services can be organized in communities.
