Tony Garnier (August 13, 1869 Lyon – January 19, 1948, Roquefort-la-Bédoule, France) was a noted architect and city planner.
He is considered the forerunner of 20th century French architects. In 1901, after extensive study of sociological and architectural problems, he began to formulate an elaborate solution to the perceived issues and published his treatise Une cité industrielle in 1918. He was most active in his hometown of Lyon.
