摘要
社会普遍认为"田园城市"是霍华德的代表思想,工业革命后西方城市出现的拥挤、污染、疫病流行等问题使"田园城市"理论应运而生。欧洲各地的试验多是袭"田园城市"之名,行"城郊居住区"之实。然而它对现代城市规划思想起到了启蒙作用,后来的有机疏散论、卫星城镇理论均承其衣钵,对中国的城市形态有巨大的影响。然而,真正读懂霍华德的不多。本文是作者在翻译E.霍华德《明日的田园城市》(商务印书馆,2000)一书时所作的序言。时过七年,译者对霍华德以及他的"田园城市"的主张和抱负、对城市的论述仍不失精辟。经金先生同意,本刊编辑发表,为保证忠实原文的思想,基本未加改动,原标题为《译序》。

Everywhere in Europe have made many experiment following the model of Garden City, but they are in reality are no other than new residential district situated in suburbs. The thought to make pre construction plan in city development in the book by Howard have great enlighten affects on the city pattern in China.
