This book explores several small scale projects, the size of a building, a small block. A self-directed retirement home, a restored convent, a building planned and built by a group of families, an urban farm on a roof of a building. Garden Cities wanted to bring the countryside to the towns, now eco-districts are being hailed as the future.
