By Ralph Neville

Book Overview

Garden Cities: A Warburton Lecture (1904) is a book written by Ralph Neville that discusses the concept of garden cities, which are planned communities designed to provide a healthy and harmonious environment for residents. The book was originally presented as a lecture at the University of Dublin in 1904, and it has since become a seminal work in the field of urban planning.In the book, Neville argues that traditional cities are overcrowded, polluted, and unhealthy, and that garden cities offer a solution to these problems. He describes the ideal garden city as a self-contained community with a population of around 30,000, surrounded by greenbelt land and connected to nearby cities by efficient transportation systems.Neville also discusses the economic benefits of garden cities, including the creation of jobs and the stimulation of local businesses. He advocates for the establishment of a land trust to ensure that the community remains affordable and accessible to all residents.Overall, Garden Cities: A Warburton Lecture (1904) is a visionary work that has had a significant impact on urban planning and design. It continues to be studied and referenced by scholars and practitioners in the field today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
