The New Town Movement in Europe

Pierre Merlin

The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 1980, vol. 451, issue 1, 76-85

Abstract: The new town movement, originated in Britain in the ideas of Howard, was active in successfully implementing two new towns on a cooperative basis, Letchworth and Welwyn. These ideas became important on the Continent when the new town movement continued on a wider scale, mostly with government initiative. A remarkable exception to this is Tapiola, Finland, built by a nonprofit organization.
