Stepped terrace housing is a building that more than meets modern housing requirements: it is economical and offers ample living space with the comfort of terrace and garden. First rising to popularity with the advent of new social movements in the 1960s, it was then forgotten as the fresh ideas of society progressively eroded. However, the enduring satisfaction of residents and ecological advantages of buildings covered in greenery make stepped terrace housing as attractive as ever. The buildings studied in the book are not only architectural icons ; one can learn so much from them about what residential buildings need today. One proponent of this building style was Harry Glück, passage of whose plea to build Green Cities can be reade in this volume.

This book advances a novel approach to a familiar eighteenth-century building type: the brick terraced house. Focusing on issues of design and architectural taste, it rehabilitates the reputation of the artisan communities of bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers responsible for its design and construction.
