Abstract
THE publication of a new edition of Ebenezer Howard's boole “Garden Cities of To-morrow”*, should be welcomed by all those who are attempting to take an impartial view of the debate on new towns in Britain, on which the choice of Mobberley as the nucleus for Manchester's first satellite town has sharply focused public attention and which has since been extended by the appearance of the two interim reports of the New Towns Committee and the subsequent introduction of the New Towns Bill. To the new edition, moreover, have been restored some of the quotations which were discarded from the revised edition of 1902 but which have fresh interest to-day. The preface by Mr. F. J. Osborn, and Mr. Lewis Mumford's introductory essay on “The Garden City Idea and Modern Planning”, add to its value in the formation of a sound and independent opinion on the present issues, as well as assist the reader to an appreciation of the magnitude of Howard's contribution to the modern town-planning movement.
