House in the Country

Where Our Suburbs and Garden Cities Came From and Why it's Time to Leave Them Behind

About this book

A critical look at suburban sprawl and the garden city ideal in the UK.

House in the Country explores the history of suburban and garden city development in the UK, tracing the influence of Ebenezer Howard and the garden city movement. It examines the social, political, and environmental consequences of prioritizing low-density housing and questions whether this model is sustainable in the face of climate change and increasing population density.

This insightful analysis is perfect for readers interested in:

  • UK housing policy and its evolution
  • The history of urban planning and suburbanization
  • The impact of housing on society and the environment
Discover the choices that have shaped UK housing and consider alternative solutions for a more sustainable future.
