Village Improvements And Farm Villages (1877)

""Village Improvements and Farm Villages"" is a book written by George Edwin Waring Jr. and published in 1877. This book explores the concept of improving rural communities through the creation of farm villages. Waring Jr. argues that the development of small, self-sufficient communities built around agriculture can improve the lives of rural residents and create a more sustainable way of life.The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the problems facing rural communities in the late 19th century, including poverty, isolation, and a lack of access to education and healthcare. Waring Jr. argues that the creation of farm villages can address these issues by providing a sense of community, access to resources, and opportunities for education and economic growth.The second part of the book focuses on the practical aspects of creating farm villages, including the design of housing, the layout of the community, and the types of crops and livestock that should be raised. Waring Jr. draws on his experience as a civil engineer and landscape architect to provide detailed plans and recommendations for creating successful farm villages.Overall, ""Village Improvements and Farm Villages"" is a pioneering work in the field of rural development. It offers a visionary and practical approach to improving the lives of rural residents and creating more sustainable communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
