What is a Garden City? How do you become one? This book draws on
the history of the garden city movement and the experiences of
Letchworth - the first Garden City - and combines these with
contemporary international experiences and good practices to
propose a manifesto for future garden cities. It defines a Garden
City as a place that brings together the best elements of town and
country through the implementation of 12 core principles. Written
by Philip Ross, former Mayor of Letchworth Garden City and Prof.
Yves Cabannes, Chair of the Development Planning at DPU at
University College London. Foreword by Rod Hackney, former
President of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Postscript
by John Emmeus Davis, former Dean, National Community Land Trust
Academy, USA
