To-morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform

Howard, E. (2003) To-morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform. Suffolk, England: St. Edmundsbury Press.

  • Originally published in 1898 as Garden Cities of Tomorrow, but now updated with illustrations and commentary from Peter Hall, Dennis Hardy, and Colin Ward
  • Howard introduced the concept called "third magnet" that was city + countryside, influenced urban planning practices in 20th century -- esp. Germany and Australia
  • Anti mega city? a Garden City is walking scale (no cars), approx smaller than London (32K pop.), linked as a chain of mini cities to keep manageable
