History
Den-en-chōfu was built based on the "Garden City" idea originally developed by the British city planner Ebenezer Howard.
Den-en-chōfu was planned as a garden suburb of Tokyo. In the early 1900s, financier Eiichi Shibusawa bought, named, and developed the area by emulating the garden suburbs that were growing in metropolitan areas around the world, particularly those in Greater London. Originally, Den-en-chōfu was developed by the Garden City Company (田園都市株式会社, Den'entoshi Kabushiki-gaisha).
Although the area was developing at an adequate pace, it was the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923 that guaranteed his success. Central Tokyo was leveled in the earthquake, but Den-en-chōfu was virtually untouched; in the aftermath, there was an exodus of people from the central city to the suburbs.
