Ebenezer Howard's To-Morrow is deservedly the most famous publication in the history of town planning. Originally published in 1898 and repeatedly thereafter, it sparked the garden city movement across the world, and fundamentally changed the terms of debate in urban planning.
This new paperback facsimile of the original version of Howard's work includes a detailed commentary by three leading commentators and reproduces in full colour all the material subsequently left out and lost to posterity. This is an invaluable insight into the originality and breadth of Howard's vision, and demonstrates the full extent of his inspiration of future generations of town planners.
'This double spread of foresight and hindsight is a genuinely wonderful thing.' - Michael Hebbert, University of Manchester
'To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform is almost without question the most important single work in the history of modern town planning'. - Sir Peter Hall, Director of the Institute of Community Studies and Bartlett Professor of Planning at University College London.
'This edition is far more than an exercise in planning history: all those practically involved in new town planning, whether in Britain or across the world, will find enormous profit in reading this new edition of To-Morrow. The answers they seek will be found in these pages.'- David Lock, Chairman of the Town and Country Planning Association
'This book is destined to become a standard purchase for every serious practitioner of planning, and for those fascinated by modern social, economic and political history.' - Fencing and Landscape News
