Excerpt from Town Planning Past, Present and Possible
It was not until the latter half of the last century that the subject of town planning began to be systematically studied. Originating in the far-reaching schemes of Baron Haussmann for the improvement of Paris, the movement gathered impetus with the remodelling of many of the more important cities of Europe consequent upon the demolition of their fortifications. In England, until last year, when Mr. John Burns introduced the Housing and Town Planning Bill, any idea of a systematic treatment of the subject was practically unknown outside æsthetic coteries, and although such matters as public health and restrictive building laws have for many years received great attention, we have yet very much to learn upon the subject of the laying out and development of town areas. The structure of our towns, the development of our suburbs and the creation of entirely new districts have been with us nearly always pure matters of chance.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the art and science of town planning, exploring its evolution from ancient times to the early 20th century. The author contrasts the haphazard growth of many British cities with the systematic planning approaches adopted in European countries like France and Germany, and in the United States. Highlighting the transformative impact of figures like Baron Haussmann in Paris, the book underscores the aesthetic and practical benefits of well-designed urban spaces. It delves into crucial aspects of town planning, including traffic circulation, street layouts, and the creation of squares and open spaces, drawing inspiration from historical and contemporary examples. The author advocates for a greater appreciation of town planning in Britain, emphasizing the need for long-term vision, public engagement, and collaboration among architects, engineers, and authorities. By learning from successful models abroad and embracing a more holistic approach, the book argues that British cities can evolve into more functional, beautiful, and enriching environments for their inhabitants. The insights presented in this book remain relevant as they illuminate the enduring principles of creating cities that are not merely collections of buildings but vibrant centers of human life and culture.
