Synopsis
The story of the Battle For The Garden City, or in short, the battle for Zion, is the history of a city-building event in the first half of the twentieth-century and the dynamics that transpired, culminating in the modern "Garden City" of Zion, Illinois. Zion Illinois was totally preplanned before building began in 1901 and is planned according to the Ebenezer Howard idea known as the Garden City. The city of Letchworth in England, near London has been believed to be the first Garden City. Jansen argues that Zion in Illinois is the first Garden City.
