\'Anyone interested in the challenges of housing policy will want
to read this methodical analysis of what went well and what did not
over much of the last century\' - LORD HESELTINE For nearly 150
years, living in a house in the country has been what many of us
aspire to. This book explores how this idea was imported from the
US by Ebenezer Howard, founder of the garden city movement, the
impact it has had in the UK and why, on cost and environmental
grounds, it\'s time to move on from this approach. House in the
Country examines the developments in urban planning and residential
architecture from 1815 to the present day and considers the legacy
of Howard's garden city movement in twenty-first century Britain.
An accessible and informative introduction, House in the Country
presents a richly detailed narrative containing much historical,
social and cultural commentary as well as interviews with key
figures in this field.
