In 1903 Unwin and Parker were selected to lay out the site of the First Garden City at [[Letchworth]], [[Hertfoprdshire]], along the lines recommended by [[Ebenezer Howard]], the settlement's founder. In 1905 they became planners of [[Hampstead Garden Suburb]], on what was then the northern edge of [[London]], and a development at odds with Howard's beliefs that large cities should not be encouraged to expand further. In fact, Unwin's principles, which postulated a low density of housing, at twelve dwellings to the acre, were to lead to an unprecedented expansion of London and other British cities in the first half of the twentieth century.
