This book revisits the history of the international garden city town planning movement in the early twentieth century, focusing on the significance of various forms of 'physical culture' - sport, recreation, leisure, and other active body practices - within garden city planning discourse and the development of some of the first garden city communities in the United Kingdom and United States.
