"A model city, the hope of democracy" John Nolen on his
suggested plans for Madison, Wisconsin
This book connects John Nolen's political and social visions
with his design proposals by analyzing his extensive writings,
personal correspondence and some of his most significant works.
While John Nolen is best known as a city planner, he trained as a
landscape architect and used the titles 'landscape architect' and
'city planner' interchangeably throughout his career. A prolific
practitioner, he was engaged in nearly 400 projects throughout the
United States between 1905 and 1936, including town planning,
industrial housing, state and city parks, new towns and regional
planning.
Focusing particularly on several projects central to Nolen s
career including Madison (WI), Mariemont (OH), Venice (FL) and
Penderlea (NC), Beck investigates the ideologies that underpinned
Nolen s work. This is a rare look at a key figure in the
development of 20th century American cities.
