Summary: "The Model Village and its Cottages: Bournville" by William Alexander Harvey is a detailed architectural guide written in the early 20th century. The publication explores the design and layout of Bournville, a model village developed by the Cadbury brothers as a solution to the housing issues faced by industrial workers. It emphasizes the importance of creating homes that promote a healthy lifestyle through their environment, architecture, and community planning. The opening of the book introduces the transcriber’s note and a preface, where the author reflects on his experience and the intention behind creating this comprehensive examination of Bournville's cottages. Harvey discusses the inadequacies of the existing housing situation in urban areas, highlighting the need for practical solutions that ensure both aesthetic appeal and economic feasibility without compromising essential living standards. He details the founding of Bournville as a response to these issues, outlining the ideals behind its design and the potential benefits for its inhabitants. Harvey aims to inspire architects and builders to consider the broader implications of home design while fostering a strong connection between residents and their surroundings, establishing an architectural blueprint for future communities.
