First published in 1898, this work is considered one of the foundational documents of modern town planning, leading to the construction of "garden cities" in Europe, the United States, and elsewhere. The subsequent editions of the text left out the color plates from the original, leading to significant misinterpretations over the years. The color plates have returned in this facsimile copy of the original edition. Also included is commentary by a trio of public planning and history scholars. This work is cited in Books for College Libraries, 3d ed. under the more familiar title Garden Cities of To-Morrow . Distributed by Taylor & Francis.

To celebrate the centenary of the first garden city at Letchworth, the Town and Country Planning Association has performed a service to planners everywhere by initiating the republication in facsimile form of the very scarce original first edition of To-Morrow. Accompanied by a running scholarly commentary on the text, and by a newly-written editorial introduction and postscript, jointly written by three leading commentators on Howard's life and work To-Morrow will immediately become a compulsory purchase for every serious student and practitioner of planning and for teachers and students of modern social, economic and political history.
