Cover of Dennis Hardy: From Garden Cities to New Towns (PDF)

This book offers a detailed record of one of the world’s oldest environmental pressure groups. It raises questions about the capacity of pressure groups to influence policy; and finally it assesses the campaing as a major factor in the emergence of modern town and planning, and as a backdrop against which to examine current issues.
