Reviewing two centuries of housing development in Britain, this study traces the desire to escape the city in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution. It explores the Garden City movement instigated by Ebenezer Howard, the suburban housing boom of the inter-war years, and the creation of new towns such as Milton Keynes. Finally, it asks whether, given the present housing shortage and climate emergency, the dream is still sustainable.
