Specificatii
The statesman and reformer James Oglethorpe was a significant
figure in the philosophical and political landscape of
eighteenth-century British America. His social contributions--all
informed by Enlightenment ideals--included prison reform, the
founding of the Georgia Colony on behalf of the worthy poor, and
stirring the founders of the abolitionist movement. He also
developed the famous ward design for the city of Savannah, a design
that became one of the most important planning innovations in
American history. Multilayered and connecting the urban core to
peripheral garden and farm lots, the Oglethorpe Plan was intended
by its author to both exhibit and foster his utopian ideas of
agrarian equality. In his new book, the professional planner Thomas
D. Wilson reconsiders the Oglethorpe Plan, revealing that
Oglethorpe was a more dynamic force in urban planning than has
generally been supposed. In essence, claims Wilson, the Oglethorpe
Plan offers a portrait of the Enlightenment, and embodies all of
the major themes of that era, including science, humanism, and
secularism. The vibrancy of the ideas behind its conception invites
an exploration of the plan's enduring qualities. In addition to
surveying historical context and intellectual origins, this book
aims to rescue Oglethorpe's work from its relegation to the status
of a living museum in a revered historic district, and to
demonstrate instead how modern-day town planners might employ its
principles. Unique in its exclusive focus on the topic and written
in a clear and readable style, The Oglethorpe Plan explores this
design as a bridge between New Urbanism and other more naturally
evolving and socially engaged modes of urban development.
