In 1909, Bristol Garden Suburb Limited was set up to implement the ideas Ebenezer Howard popularised in To-morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform.<\/em> However, Bristol\u2019s most authentic Arts and Crafts-style garden suburb, in Shirehampton, boasted only two streets when the outbreak of the First World War halted construction.<\/p>\n

In the inter-war years, garden-city principles inspired the building programme designed to deliver \u2018homes fit for heroes\u2019, with developments at Sea Mills and the Fry\u2019s chocolate factory at Keynsham.<\/p>\n

However, Howard\u2019s principles were diluted in the construction of the city\u2019s municipal housing estates, first at Hillfields, then at Knowle West, Bedminster, Southmead, Horfield, Shirehampton, Speedwell, St Annes and the late 1940s garden suburb at Lockleaze.<\/p>\n

In the light of current debates about sustainable development, garden villages and eco-towns, Steve Hunt\u2019s Yesterday\u2019s To-morrow<\/em> is a timely re-evaluation of the garden-city principles and shows that Howard\u2019s vision continues to be relevant today.<\/p>\n
