Abstract

The article focuses on the sociological effects of planned living pattern, which is garden living pattern of the United States. Sociology deals with the nature, development, and laws of human society. The sociological aspect of Garden Cities requires to think of them scientifically as a specific type of human society. Breezier Howard, the founder of Garden City concept, of Great Britain was bold enough to see that it was impossible to reconcile fundamental values with the actual conventions of civilization produced by the nineteenth century. A factor in the economic and industrial success of Letchworth, England, which is not an essential part of the programme of Garden Cities, has been a strong bias against alcohol. The early settlers were social reformers of the nineteenth century and many of them had become conscious of the frightful havoc drunkenness was producing at that time in industrial cities.
