Sir Ebenezer Howard and the Town Planning Movement

Sir Ebenezer Howard is universally recognized as the father of the new towns (or garden cities) movement. The book presents the personal aspects of Howard’s life and a detailed account of the planning and building of the new towns of Letchworth and Welwyn. Howard’s personal life and his work were cross-coupled to an unusual degree, but in order to see both the man and the movement more clearly, the author presents each in turn, in a series of paralleling but separate chapters. No dust-jacket.  Green cloth boards with gilt titling to spine.  Binding strong and tight.  No inscriptions, annotations or underlining.  Some slight foxing, otherwise very good.  Housed in protective mylar cover.
