Urban Utopias in the Twentieth Century: Ebenezer Howard, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Le Corbusier

Garden suburb, dispersal across the countryside, tower and park: three men proposed to abolish the industrial city, and Fishman takes each plan seriously as social theory rather than as architecture. He then follows what was actually built from them, which is where the utopias meet land prices, municipal politics and the people who had to live there.
