Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the first to fully explore the rich history of the Wyomissing Development Company, founded upon the lofty ideals of a single visionary. It was established at the turn of the 20th century, drawing inspiration from the principles of the Garden City movement and the legacy of city planning legend, Frederick Law Olmsted. Guided by Olmsted's vision of interlacing natural beauty and urban pragmatism, this tome beautifully illustrates how this remarkable development company transformed a vast 500-acre canvas of rolling hills and meandering waterways into the picturesque garden suburb of Wyomissing Park, a community that has remained a model of urban design for over a century. The narrative delves into the groundbreaking ideas that shaped the company's philosophy, including the adoption of public plazas, the concept of semi-detached row houses, and the preservation of ample green space for parks, playgrounds, and a stunning golf course. The author posits that this thoughtful orchestration of design elements created an attractive community where people from all walks of life could thrive and connect, a legacy that stands as a testament to the enduring power of visionary leadership.
