Since our creation to promote the Garden City idea in 1899, the TCPA has recognised the role of new communities as part of a portfolio of solutions necessary to provide genuinely affordable homes in inclusive, healthy and climate resilient places. The Garden City model is relevant to development at all scales, in new and renewed communities.
The TCPA is campaigning for a new generation of Garden Cities based on modern Garden City Principles. This involves working cross-sector and at all levels of government to influence policy and legislation, raise awareness through guidance and training, and work with real places to explore the barriers, opportunities and practical solutions necessary to make new garden cities a reality. Our campaigns are underpinned by research exploring lessons from the past and present, including the New Towns programme.
This work is complemented by a programme of support, training and guidance for councils, communities, the private sector and anyone interested in creating better places.
