The Garden City is a beautiful development, a delightful combination of three buildings, Almond, Jasmin and Mandarin. Nestled in a picturesque surrounding comprised of tree-, fruits- and flower-lined avenues  The beauty and the grace of each flower type exude great confidence and reflect the true essence and exquisite quality of the tree, fruit and flower types after which they are named.&#8217;<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve solved the problem of why George Osborne envisages Ebbsfleet as a Garden City: he&#8217;s been to Dubai and seen the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emiratesproperties.ae\/project_detail.cfm?ID=80\">Ajman Garden City<\/a>. He loved it with the adoration of a puppy. He wants Sunny Ebbsfeet to rival Dubai with its wonderful expanses of lawns embellished with wonderful expanses of charming roads and concrete slabs. The only features Ebbsfeet cannot rival are the intense heat, dust, glare and humidity. Never mind, the Chancellor can tell our state-owned banks to give starter loans for tanning parlours and tatoo artists. The UK economy will then boom with a slew of professional opportunities in skin cancer.<br \/>\nPlease tell me it&#8217;s a spoof. The world cannot have clients fool-enough to build such a &#8220;&#8221;&#8221;&#8221;Garden City&#8221;&#8221;&#8221;&#8221;. It cannot have designers bad-enough to produce the drawings. It cannot have buyers rich-enough to buy the property. But listen carefully: the voiceover is spoken in a near-human English marketing argot &#8211; but for the robot saying al-mond, insetad of aa-mond. So the Dubai video IS a prank by Gravesend kids doing robotics as a sixth form project. Ebbsfleet Garden City will, after all, be a place of semi-detached rose arbours where we can all enjoy harmonious lush green lifestyles.<br \/>\nPhew. What a relief.<br \/>\nSee also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gardenvisit.com\/blog\/2014\/03\/18\/will-ebbsfleet-be-a-garden-city-a-new-town-or-an-overblown-housing-estate\/\">Will Ebbsfleet be a Garden City a New Town or an overblown Housing Estate?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Fresh calm lush green designer landscapes beckon you to lead a harmonious lifestyle at the garden city.
