Ebenezer Howard's iconic "Garden Cities of To-Morrow," published in
1902, spawned an international movement for the creation of Garden
Cities in the early twentieth century and serves as a foundation
text for modern planning theory. Contemporary planning efforts such
as New Urbanism and Smart Growth look to Howard's concepts for
inspiration, and this volume introduces fundamental ideas such as
green belts and lays the foundations of Transit-Oriented
Development. Also included in this new edition is the Garden Cities
and Town Planning Association's follow-up work "The Garden City
Movement Up-To-Date," published in 1913, fifteen years after
Howard's first edition. This update provides valuable information,
including plans and photographs, of the early years of the movement
for Garden Cities like Letchworth and Hampstead. Supplemental
information such as "missing" diagrams from Howard's earlier
edition "To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform" and up-to-date
financial figures are also included in this volume. This work, one
of the "Foundations of Urban Planning" series, is required reading
and deserves to be included in any urban planner's or architect's
bookshelf.
