Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Ebenezer Howard is universally recognized as the father of the new towns (or garden cities) movement. This biography, originally published in 1933, is being reissued now to serve the revival of interest in new towns as a viable alternative to the urban chaos and suburban sprawl that deface the planet with physical ugliness and social inequity.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. The leading contemporary authority on the new towns movement, Sir Frederic Osborn, has noted that the book is "somewhat informally arranged, but contains all essential facts about Howard, and many interesting personal impressions."Lewis Mumford has placed Howard in the perspective of our time with this tribute: "Until Ebenezer Howard came forth with his proposals in "To-Morrow" no one had the audacity to conceive a new form for the city, which would utilize the facilities of modern technology without sacrificing the social advantages of the historic city.... Many sporadic attempts had been made to improve this or that aspect of the growing city: but no one had attempted to improve it as a whole, and above all, to alter the very method of its growth, so that it might form a new urban pattern, based on well-defined wholes. That contribution was the work of Ebenezer Howard; and its leading ideas were so simple, yet so contrary to the usual assumptions and procedures of our society even now, that their full implications have not been fully understood and assessed, much less carried out."This book complements Howard's own "Garden Cities of To-Morrow, " also available in the MIT Paperback Series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nearly a century the Garden City movement has represented one end of a continuum in an ongoing debate about the future of the modern city. In 1898 Ebenezer Howard envisioned an experimental community as the alternative to huge, teeming cities. Small, planned "garden cities" girdled by greenbelts were to serve in time as the "master key" to a higher, more cooperative stage of civilization based on ecologically balanced communities. Howard soon founded an international planning movement which ever since has represented a remarkable blend of accommodation to and protest against urban changes and the rise of the suburbs. In this interconnected history of the Garden City movement in the United States and Britain, Buder examines its influence, strengths and limitations. Howard's garden city, he shows, joined together two very different types of late-nineteenth-century experimental communities, creating a tension never fully resolved. One approach, utopian and radical in nature, challenged conventional values; the other, the model industrial towns of "enlightened" capitalists, reinforceed them. Buder traces this tension through planning history from the nineteenth-century world of visionaries, philanthropy, and self help into our own with its reliance on the expert, bureaucracy, and governmental policy, shedding light on the complex changes in the way we have thought in the twentieth century about community, urban design, and indeed the process of change. His final chapters examine the world-wide enthusiasm for "New Towns" between 1945-1975 and recent political and social trends which challenge many fundamental assumptions of modern planning.
