Village Improvements and Farm Villages

How can small villages become healthier, more beautiful, and more livable? In “Village Improvements and Farm Villages,” George E. Waring, Jr. — one of 19th-century America’s foremost sanitary engineers — lays out a visionary yet practical blueprint for redesigning rural life. With insight and enthusiasm, he advocates for clean streets, planned layouts, aesthetic harmony, and community-minded reform. A compelling read for anyone interested in sustainable living, civic design, or the roots of modern urban planning — long before it had a name.
"Village Improvements and Farm Villages" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1877.
