Thomas Adams (1871-1940) was a pioneer of
urban planning. Born on a farm near
Edinburgh, Scotland and a farmer in his early years, Adams came to
London, England as a journalist. He served as secretary to the
Garden City Association and was the first manager of
Letchworth, England from 1903 to 1906.
Adams became a designer of low-density residential developments that were commonly referred to as "garden suburbs."
After the Halifax Explosion in 1917, Adams designed the Hydrostone section using Garden City principles. He also designed the Corner Brook, Newfoundland town.
