Problems of Reconstruction: Lectures and Addresses, Delivered at the Summer Meeting at the Hampstead Garden Suburb, August, 1917 collects keynote talks from a 1917 gathering on rebuilding society after the Great War.

Edited by the Marquess of Crewe, this volume surveys education, housing, industry, agriculture, and civic life as they relate to national renewal and social progress.

Through a curated sequence of essays and discussions, readers gain insight into how scholars, policymakers, and reformers think about postwar challenges. The book blends practical policy ideas with broader questions about freedom, community, and the role of government in shaping a better future.

Explores education, youth, and the reshaping of schools in a postwar era.
Examines housing, health, work conditions, and the protection of workers, especially women.
Discusses agriculture, food security, and the balance between land use and national needs.
Considers arts, crafts, and cooperative production as a path to national resilience.

Ideal for readers of history, social policy, and postwar planning who want a window into early 20th‑century ideas about reconstruction.
