Product Information
Ebenezer Howard is recognised as a pioneer of town planning throughout the industrial world; and Britain's New Towns, deriving from the garden cities he founded are his monument. But Howard was more than a town planner. He was first and foremost a social reformer, and his garden city was intended to be merely the first step towards a new social and industrial order based on common ownership of land. Robert Beevers traces Howard's ideas back to their origins in English puritan dissent and forward to Howard's attempt to build his new society in microcosm at Letchworth and Welwyn.Product Identifiers
