I practiced a question similar to this, and I think it was about urban planning movements. D.C. definitely has elements of the Garden City concept too, but I feel like City Beautiful fits better.

I’m a bit confused. I thought D.C. was more about public health initiatives, but now I’m leaning towards City Beautiful after reviewing some examples.

I'm a little confused on this one. Is it the Garden City movement, where cities were designed with lots of green space and parks? Or was it the City Efficient movement, focused on things like transportation and infrastructure? I'll have to review my notes to be sure.

Okay, let me see. I think the City Beautiful movement is the right answer here. It was all about using architecture and urban design to create a sense of civic pride and grandeur. And that definitely fits with how Washington, D.C. was planned and developed.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Washington, D.C. was planned as a capital city, but I can't quite remember which specific urban planning movement it's associated with. I'll have to think this through carefully.

If D.C. was a 'Garden City,' I'm guessing the White House would be surrounded by a hedge maze.
