Excerpt from Garden Cities: A Warburton Lecture Delivered on 24th October, 1904

Some little time ago my old friend the Vice Chancellor invited me to lecture here upon the subject of Garden Cities. The invitation was extended to me doubtless in consequence of my connection with the movement for the redistribution of the people upon the land, as chairman of the board of the first Garden City Ltd.

I gladly availed myself of the offer, anxious as I am, not only that knowledge of the existence of the movement should be widely spread, but also that the reasons for it, and the true nature of the objects underlying it should be thoroughly understood. For the establishment of a Garden City is but the concrete embodiment of a view of the obligations and necessities of a civilised community, which is gradually Opening up before our moral apprehension.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the Garden City movement, a response to the detrimental effects of urbanization on working-class communities in 19th-century England. The author analyzes the causes of physical deterioration among urban populations and argues that the concentration of industry in overcrowded cities is a major factor. By examining the principles and implementation of Garden Cities, the author proposes a solution that combines urban planning and land ownership to create healthier and more sustainable living environments for industrial workers. The book explores the social and economic implications of urban design and the importance of collective organization in addressing societal issues. Its insights remain relevant today, highlighting the ongoing need for thoughtful urban planning and the pursuit of a more balanced distribution of population and industry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334455476_0
