The design of the new Marino development was heavily influenced by the Garden City Movement, which originated in the United Kingdom with Sir Ebenezer Howard. Howard's idea came from 19th-century writings which inspired him to build the opposite of the general urban conditions that existed at the time, hence building the "Garden City", to be "a perfect combination of rural and urban living". His book, To-morrow, a Peaceful Path to Real Reform (1898), was reprinted in 1902 titled Garden Cities of Tomorrow.
