"Even if like me you already have several versions [of To-Morrow], this is a worthwhile investment for anyone with the modicum of interest in the origins and history of planning and an essential for anyone with a deeper interest in the area....First it is a facsimile of the original work with an accompanying commentary by what can only be called the cre`me-de-la-cre`me of scholars on the Howard and the Garden City movement that he inspired...The second outstanding aspect of this book is the quality and extent of the production values. Its production in landscape format on high quality paper allows the original and the commentary to be produced on facing pages, which allows the user to read the original or the commentary independently or to read them in concert. It is a layout that makes it an attractive and accessible format for a variety of audiences" - Australian Planner
'This double spread of foresight and hindsight is a genuinely wonderful thing.' - Michael Hebbert, University of Manchester
'This edition is far more than an exercise in planning history: all those practically involved in new town planning, whether in Britain or across the world, will find enormous profit in reading this new edition of To-Morrow. The answers they seek will be found in these pages.'
- David Lock, Chairman of the Town and Country Planning Association

Paperback. Condition: New. Sir Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928) travelled to the USA and was inspired by the rebuilding of Chicago, as well as his interest in social welfare, to found the Garden City Association in 1899. Howard believed that the solution to overcrowding and poor conditions in modern industrial towns was to produce new planned communities which created a 'joyous union' of town and country. The goal of the garden city was to combine the attractions of town life with access to nature and a healthier lifestyle. The first of these communities, Letchworth Garden City, was established in the early 1900s, followed by Welwyn Garden City in the 1920s. This volume, first published in 1898, sets out Howard's utopian vision in full; explaining how a garden city would be financed, planned and administered. Energetic and conversational in style, this book is a charming introduction to Howard's ground-breaking and influential ideas. Seller Inventory # LU-9781108021920
