**This book was originally printed as a hardback in 2001. The
paperback released in 2014 is a reprint of the original** Garden
suburbs were the almost universal form of urban growth in the
English-speaking world for most of the twentieth century. Their
introduction was probably the most fundamental process of
transformation in the physical form of the Western city since the
Middle Ages. This book describes the ways in which these suburbs
were created, particularly by private enterprise in England in the
1920s and 1930s, the physical forms they took, and how they have
changed over time in response to social, economic and cultural
change. Twentieth-Century Suburbs is concerned with the history,
geography, architecture and planning of the ordinary suburban areas
in which most British people live. It discusses the origins of
suburbs; the ways in which they have been represented; the scale
and causes of their growth; their form and architectural style; the
landowners, builders and architects responsible for their creation;
the changes they have undergone both physically and socially; and
their impact on urban form and the implications for urban landscape
management.
