"An accessible and interesting history of Ebenezer Howard's 'garden cities.'" -- Harold Henderson, Planning
"From Garden City to Green City is a valuable book on urban history. It is a rich source of useful charts, illustrations (often from the authors' own archives) and references organized in endnotes." -- Ayse Yonder, Journal of Planning Education and Research
"The book offers a valuable introduction to Howard and his world and evaluations of the impact of his work form a number of different angles." -- Patricia L. Garside, Town Planning Review
"These essays provide clear evidence that Howard's proposals remain vital... Its relevance for today's planners is found in the inclusion of essays from both scholars and practitioners, of case studies with a relatively good range in time and place, and of discussion on such topics such as neighborhood planning, New Urbanism, open space preservation, and sustainability -- all of which give the book real meaning for the historian, environmentalist, and urbanist." -- John J. Pittari, Jr., APA Journal
"The essays present a wide range of approaches to and assessments of the garden city legacy, from Howard's most influential formulation of his ideas in Garden Cities of To-morrow to current debates regarding sustainable planning... [and] contribute to a more nuanced understanding of this theorist." -- Sheila Crane, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians
"A worthwhile read: scholarly, informative, and well-presented." -- Ita Heinze-Greenberg, Utopian Studies
"From Garden City to Green City is a major contribution to the literature on planning history, written by some of its leading practitioners. Particularly significant is the way in which they trace changing ideas on planning for the car, from Radburn to the New Urbanism. This will be essential reading for all serious students." -- Sir Peter Hall, Bartlett School of Planning, University College London
