Who designed the second garden city, Welwyn?

The second garden city, Welwyn, was designed by Louis de Soisson. Welwyn Garden City, established in 1920, was part of the garden city movement initiated by Ebenezer Howard, which aimed to combine the benefits of both urban and rural environments to create sustainable communities. De Soisson's approach to the design of Welwyn emphasized the integration of the natural landscape with urban architecture, a fundamental principle of garden cities.

His design included meticulously planned residential areas with ample green spaces, parks, and gardens, drawing from the original garden city principles while adapting them to contemporary needs. This balance of built form and nature was key to the identity of Welwyn Garden City and highlighted de Soisson's unique contribution to urban planning.

The other names listed were significant figures in architecture and urban design; however, they were not the designers of Welwyn Garden City specifically. Raymond Unwin was a contemporary of de Soisson and significantly involved in garden city principles, but he did not design Welwyn. Barry Parker collaborated with Unwin on earlier projects but wasn't the primary designer for Welwyn. Daniel Burnham was known for his work on city planning, particularly with the Chicago Plan, but he was not involved in the garden city movement or the design of Wel
