The complete competition brief ‘The Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA), which was founded as the Garden City Association by Ebenezer Howard, is now Britain's oldest charity concerned with planning, housing and the environment. The TCPA believes that the radical ideas of the Garden City movement remain highly relevant in the 21” century, providing a crucial foundation for high quality inclusive places and the creation of truly sustainable lifestyles. Similarly, in 1913, the IFHP began asthe ‘international Garden Cities and Town Planning Association’, and now, at thetime of its centenary, is the right moment to re-imagine and re-apply the Garden City principles.
