\"Garden<\/p>\n

The 1918 Tudor Walters Report came with the well-known aspiration to build \u201chomes fit for heroes\u201d after the First World War. The interwar council housing boom that followed shaped much of the development of Bristol as we know it today. It aimed to create new neighbourhoods based on high-quality planning and housing design. This would transform the prospects for their residents by combining the best features of urban and rural life. There would be promises of employment within walking distance, and a cherry and apple tree in each garden. This talk will survey the influence of garden-suburb style planning upon Bristol\u2019s spatial geography, from the beginning of the Twentieth Century to the immediate post-War period. It will reference North Bristol\u2019s \u201clost\u201d garden-suburbs influenced estate.<\/p>\n
