About This Book

The work describes the conception, planning, and built result of an industrial model village created to provide well-designed housing and communal facilities for employees. It explains the founding ideal and practical foundations, documents architectural characteristics and the overall plan, and illustrates cottage types, public buildings, tree planting, and landscape features. Photographs, plates, and plans accompany discussions of materials, ornament, and arrangement, showing how aesthetic considerations were integrated with health, recreation, and social services to shape a cohesive, philanthropic urban experiment.
