Description
This examination of a phenomenon of 19th century planning traces the origins, implementation, international transference and adoption of the Garden City idea. It also considers its continuing relevance in the late 20th century and into the 21st century. Ten chapters, with authors from seven countries follow several key inter-related themes, including the combination of apparent clarity with pragmatism in Ebenezer Howard's original formulation and the variety of implemented forms (worldwide and even within individual countries) with claimed allegiance to Howard's idea.
