@caitlinrgreen @BrynleyHeaven I actually saw it one of the archaeology archives don't remember which one one but was quite a hobby
@Umarkarim89 @caitlinrgreen what impresses me about these city plans is their precise locations [unlike vague talk of Garden Cities now]
@BrynleyHeaven @Umarkarim89 @caitlinrgreen Garden City movement was powerful up to WW1; 1st Letchworth, then Welwyn; Ebenezer Howard the man
@CatherineEsse @BrynleyHeaven @caitlinrgreen can you elaborate more about what was that movement and did it materialize??
@Umarkarim89 @BrynleyHeaven @caitlinrgreen response to v poor conditions for workers in Victorian towns; two garden cities built early 20thC
@CatherineEsse @BrynleyHeaven @caitlinrgreen and why were they specifically called garden cities?? Did they hv lots of gardens??
@Umarkarim89 @BrynleyHeaven @caitlinrgreen aim to bring "country" to "town"; = big plots, allotments, trees, public space; + teetotal!
@CatherineEsse @BrynleyHeaven @caitlinrgreen ahh got you totally. From their dingy and narrow housing to more appropriate and airy ones
@caitlinrgreen @BrynleyHeaven @Umarkarim89 indeed it did; also Peter Scott founder of Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust, started off shooting 'em:-/
