New City development in Gyeonggi -do has brought about a lot of problems which can not be solved easily. Basically it was dependent on Seoul so much that most of the new cities in the province were reduced to bed towns for people who go to Seoul for work everyday. Moreover, real estate speculation took place in areas where land development has been carried out on the assumption of a high degree of land publicity, and development was concentrated to the areas along the Gyeongbu Highway, causing distortion of space structure in the province as well. Ebenezer Howard``s Garden City model needs to be revisited at the time when city development paradigm ought to be transformed in Korea. I propose to build a Edu-Garden City in the border area of Gyeonggi northwest. This City is a pilot model which aims to make a virtuous circle between city development and education based on Howard``s principle.
