Patrick Geddes: The Old Town’s Eco-Hero and Sustainable Development's Pioneer
With the motto, «by leaves, we live», Patrick Geddes sought to transform and rethink the city in a sustainable way. Come to discover Edinburgh through the eyes of this avant-gardist philanthropist. Private tour 1 to 7 people: £210
Father of sustainable urban planning and Scottish botanist, Patrick Geddes dedicated his life to the preservation of Edinburgh’s Old Town in the 19th century. In its time, the medieval city was only unsanitary buildings and alleys. As a true pioneer, he saved several monuments from destruction and sought to make this dilapidated «Old Town» a pleasant place to live with hidden gardens and spaces dedicated to the community.
