Physical Culture and the Biopolitics of the International Garden City Movement

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.
