Town planning in practice; an introduction to the art of designing cities and suburbs

Town planning in practice; an introduction to the art of designing cities and suburbs

, aménagement urbain, histoire de l'urbanisme, Unwin Raymond

Extract from the Preface :   When a Bill conferring town planning powers on municipal bodies was promised by the Government, it occurred to me that it would probably be of use if some of the maps, photographs, and other material which I had collected during some years' study and practice of what I have ventured to call the art of town planning could be put together and published. Hence this book. The spare time at my disposal has only enabled me to deal in an introductory and imperfect manner with the different points raised; but I am hopeful that those who do me the honour to read the text will find it at any rate sufficient to help them to glean from the illustrations many of the valuable suggestions which I believe them to contain.   Raymond Unwin was an engineer, architect and town planner, president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (1931-1933) and was appointed visiting Professor of Town Planning at Columbia University in 1937.
