One of the things both before-mentioned city proposals have in common is the constant care for

the livability of the individual. Regarding to Broadacre, every individual is supposed to own one
acre of land from the federal land reserves, which is a relatively large site, on which he would
build his home and his own workspace. He is required to cultivate his land, whatever a man does
would be done only by himself in his own interest, and use the product of his work as he pleased.
Discussing Garden City, we are shown a diagram featuring 6 000 acres of agricultural land and,
in the center of these, a circle of no more than 1000, which is the actual city. Howard’s urban
proposal offered smaller sites, and people worked in factories or farms at the periphery of the
city.
