A garden city, as conceived by the British city planner Ebenezer Howard, captures the benefits of both the countryside and the city by combining residence, industry and agriculture.

In Hebrew, such a town is called עיר גנים

– literally, city of gardens.

For example:

בירושלים יש שכונה בשם “עיר גנים.”

In Jerusalem there is a neighborhood called “Garden City.”

A single garden is גן

or גינה

. The word גן

is also the Hebrew term for nursery school.
