First published in 1794, A General Plan for Laying Out Towns and Townships offers a compelling vision of how urban planning can support and enhance agriculture. At a time when many cities were struggling with issues of sanitation, housing, and food supply, Granville Sharp's ideas were innovative and influential. This new edition of Sharp's classic text includes annotations and an introduction by historian Robin F. Bachin.
