Building Jerusalem:the Simons’ role in housing reform and town planning
This chapter traces the contribution of all four Simons in housing reform: from Henry’s role in a Victorian tenement scheme, to Emily’s connection with the Edwardian garden suburb movement, and then to Shena and Ernest’s work in interwar mass municipal housing development. In addition to illustrating Ernest and Shena’s important role in the development of the Wythenshawe Estate and their longstanding connections with it, the chapter discusses how Ernest’s unique ideas about democratic town planning were profoundly shaped by his investigations of foreign nations.
