Excerpt from The Administration of the Town Planning Duties of Local Authorities: A Supplement to "the Case for Town Planning"
Of equal importance has been the remarkable success achieved under the Government Housing Policy, of transforming the standards of lay-out of new working class areas. Henceforward the standard of 12 houses to the acre in urban areas may be regarded as secure in all progressive communities.
That these two achievements are the direct outcome of the World War is beyond question.
It may be regretfully admitted that the hopes of building a new world which were held at the close of the war have been in some measure lessened as a result of the reaction which has marked the years 1920 and 1921.
But at the most this reaction is of a temporary character. When it has passed away we shall assuredly enter upon a period of steady and well-ordered progress towards the realisation of great schemes for social betterment.
It is hoped that this book and The Case for Town Planning which it supplements, will in the this period of growth render a real service by providing a practical guide for the use of those on whom will fall the task of preparing schemes (under the Acts of 1909 and 1919l to secure the well-ordered growth of our cities.
