Site Planning in Practice at Welwyn Garden City

  • Isabelle Taylor

100 years after the founding of Welwyn Garden City, this enlarged reissue of 'Site Planning in Practice at Welwyn Garden City' is a celebration of the achievements of the settlement’s early development. First published in 1927, the book was a visual record of Welwyn Garden City’s design and construction up to that date, presented through plans and photographs. This new edition reproduces the original in its entirety, and expands it with a series of prefatory essays exploring the development, the design and the legacy of the town, as well as modern-day photographs which document the evolution of the streetscapes over the last nine decades.
