What term refers to a planned settlement created to relieve overcrowding in inner cities after a major war?

The term "new towns" refers to planned settlements that were specifically developed to address issues such as overcrowding in inner cities, particularly following major conflicts like World War II. These new towns were designed to accommodate population growth and provide better living conditions, often situated on the outskirts of existing urban centers. They featured a wide range of residential, commercial, and recreational facilities, all planning to create self-sufficient communities away from the congested inner cities.

In contrast, urban renewal refers to the process of renovating or revitalizing urban areas, often focusing on improvement rather than relocation. Satellite cities are smaller urban areas that are dependent on a larger city, typically providing residential options with a degree of independence, but they are not planned to specifically relieve overcrowding from inner cities. Suburban areas are residential zones located on the periphery of cities, which can stem from urban sprawl rather than being planned settlements intended for systematic relocation.
