Excerpt from Popular Government, Vol. 30: May 1964
The Ministry of Housing and Local Government traces the idea of the Green Belt back to the very early days of Eng land's history, when most towns were surrounded by open land. This land was used basically for agriculture, but it also served as a site for fairs and sports, a barrier against the spread of disease, and an Open space which any enemy must cross before assaulting the city walls. In 1580 Queen Elizabeth I issued a royal proclamation forbidding new development within three miles of Lon don's gates, so as to insure the availability of a supply of food and to impede the spread of the plague. In 1657 Parlia ment established a precedent for some present-day zoning near American metropolitan areas, when it attempted to slow urbanization by requiring all new dwellings within 10 miles of Lon don to have lots of at least 4 acres.
