Model Towns Inspire Civic Movement Across Nations
The American Civic association outlines requests for information on elite and town design in the United States and Europe. Bourneville and Port Sunlight in England showcase parks, playgrounds, and garden allotments within reach of every child and home. The Bourneville death rate runs about nine per 1000, far lower than American cities, urging reform. The First Garden City group and plans for a Brussels model city are noted, along with a German magazine Der Staechtebau on street extension. The American Civic association, led by Frederick S. Lamb, has created a city making department to advance such reforms.
