The ethos of garden cities should not be lost

Places like Welwyn Garden City were built on this premise

Boulevard with cycle lanes down the middle, tram way to the side and single lane carriageway for cars each way. A tree-lined terrace on both sides serves as footpath and terrace for cafes and restaurants

Tram way with wide treelined pavements both sides

Free public transport at weekends

Wide open boulevards with cars pushed out so people can live in the cities and trams connecting the suburbs

Parks too
