This year marks the 125th anniversary of the TCPA. The Tomorrow 125 project has explored the background and practical application of the Garden City idea today.
The TCPA is campaigning for a new generation of Garden Cities based on modern Garden City Principles. Our campaigns are underpinned by research exploring lessons from the past and present, including the New Towns programme.
The TCPA has a strong track record in research, policy formulation and political influence on climate adaptation and mitigation in the context of spatial planning.

Planning for the climate challenge?
The TCPA has a strong track record in research, policy formulation and political influence on, among other things, climate adaptation and mitigation in the context of spatial planning.
Too many homes and neighbourhoods built today undermine residents’ health and wellbeing – the TCPA has developed new legislation, in the form of a Healthy Homes Bill, to stop this.
