William Penn dislike the cities because he felt depressed by the mood of the crowded and dirty city and his ailing father and that made him return to Ireland.  

He staved off crowded conditions like London by promoting low population density by the allocation of people in large plots of land where they were able to have a garden. He designed a city plan with streets wider than any major thoroughfare in London. Moreover, five major squares dotted the cityscape, and Penn wished each dweller had a family garden.
