Summary:

The garden suburb has its origins in London, and, contrary to
widespread belief, its earliest phase took place not at the beginning
of the 20th century, with the much discussed garden-city movement,
but one century earlier, with the creation of the Eyre brothers'
villa estate in the London suburb of St. John's Wood. Drawing on the
resources of the newly catalogued Eyre archive, Mireille Galinou
describes how London acquired one of its most attractive and
influential suburbs and how generations of the Eyre family shaped,
fought over, lost, and revitalized their inheritance. Little did they
know that they were making world history with their winning formula,
which set the green suburb agenda for middle classes around the
world.
