Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Housing Plans for Cities Any causes which restrict the opportunity for home owning strike at the foundations of modern industrial life. Workers who are not home owners are more easily subject to all the cross currents of unrest and radicalism. They lack the stamina and conservatism that home owning gives. They are constantly shifting. Employers know what this costs industry. Unfortunately, present-day conditions have tended to restrict home owning. Perhaps it would be too much to say that inadequate housing is at the bottom of the present industrial unrest, but no one can doubt it has been a large, determining fac tor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Planning Housing, Vol. 2: Political Economy and Civic Art Our fathers and forefathers believed implicitly in liberty as the unfailing boon and saviour in every emergency: in economic liberty which means free competition; in political liberty which means democracy, both of which, however, are helpless without some form Of national planning - a basic conception of the American Constitution. It was this faith that gave our fathers inspiration and strength for mighty achievements. They marched forwards and upwards in almost every field Of science, of economics, Of culture. Today this faith is considered to be mere delusion. Yet with its disappearance there vanished both strength and prosperity and we stand today aghast, confronted with the possible downfall of our civilization, faced with the prospect Of falling back into poverty, servitude and barbarism. Yet there is one shining ray of hope which, if we grasp it, can prevent the imminent cataclysm. This hope lies in a rationally planned society rather than in a growth of purely natural forces.

Download or read book Homes in City and Country Classic Reprint written by Russell Sturgis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homes in City and Country The picture on p. 4 gives the exterior of such a house, taken from one of those now standing on the north Side of Washington Square. The only discrepancy between plan and exterior View is that the latter has a more elaborate entrance; the doorway proper more deeply recessed and decorated with wooden col umns within the recess, while a marble porch decorates the opening in the house-wall. In Baltimore and the more Southern cities a Very different plan of house, and one more nearly approaching the suburban type, was usual. Plan 2 shows the ground-floor of such a house of the smaller and cheaper sort, and it will be seen that such a plan presupposes lower prices for land and the possibility of using, for an eight-thousand or a ten-thousand dollar house, a larger, or at least a wider, lot than New York allowed to a house of twice the cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Housing Book: Containing Photographic Reproductions, With Floor Plans of Workingmen's Homes; One and Two Family Houses of Frame, Brick, Stucco and Concrete Construction; Also Four, Six and Nine Family Apartments N this present day when peace is hovering over the world, with I all the questions of reconstructions and read justments to be set tled, among the all important problems facing the country is the one of industrial housing. The scarcity of suitable homes for working men is the starting point. What is true of one industrial center is true of the next, and so on through the whole chain of mill and factory towns, steel and mining centers throughout the country. A sporadic movement for better homes for working men started some years ago. Port Sunlight, England, may be hailed as a pioneer and recently here and there in the United States employers of large numbers of men, reading the signs of the times, animated in part by a philanthropic spirit, and influenced by the economic side of the situation, have in stituted small colonies for housing their help, near their industrial plants.

The Italian, now the fashionable style for city edifices, was the peculiar taste of the author, derived from a professional tour on the continent of Europe, long before it had superseded the pure Greek style; which, how ever beautiful in itself, has been proved by experience to be unproductive of any original combinations, and ill adapted to modern uses and require ments.

Download or read book City Planning written by Charles Mulford Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Planning: With Special Reference to the Planning of Streets and Lots Finally, and doubtless of more importance than all the rest, has been the splendid and inspiring progress which everywhere is taking place in the fast unfolding science and eager practice of city building - progress in reasonableness, beauty, and fitness. As a result of all this, the original book - published in 1911 as The Width and Arrangement of Streets, in an edition which has been since exhausted - has been so amplified, revised, and rearranged that a reader will not be impressed by the presence of the old material. Yet it is all here-though buried under the new. The book, as an exponent of the cause of more rational methods of street platting, has definite mission. But it is hoped that it will prove more than simply propagandist. It is designed, in insist ence upon the less spectacular but more efficient phases of city planning, to help in a practical way the real estate platter - be he owner, dealer, city engineer, or landscape architect. Its theme is that in the platting of streets he will best serve himself who best serves his community. Thus it would promote good housing.

Download or read book Neighborhood written by Emily Talen and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term neighborhood has been reduced to a word for a convenient geographical locator. In fact, most cities claim to be compiled of neighborhoods, but this strays far from the term's original meaning - a spatial unit that people relate to. Neighborhood seeks to dispel this common misconception by integrating a complex historical record and multidisciplinary literature to produce a singular resource for understanding what is meant by neighborhood. Emily Talen provides a multi-dimensional, comprehensive view of what neighborhoods signify how they're idealized and measured, and what their historical progression has been. Talen balances perspectives from sociology, urban history, urban planning, and sustainability among others in efforts to make neighborhoods compatible with 21st century ideals. If neighborhoods are going to play a role in the future of the city, we need to know what and where they are in a more meaningful way. Neighborhoods need to be more than a label and more than a social segregator. For those living in the undefined expanse of contemporary urbanism-which characterizes most of American cities-can the neighborhood come to be more than a shaded area on a map?
Download or read book Shelter for Living Classic Reprint written by Ernest Pickering and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shelter for Living This book was written primarily for students in schools of architecture and home economics, and for architects, builders, and prospective home owners. Although it is directed chiefly to those who plan, build, remodel, and occupy, or h0pe to occupy, single-family detached dwellings, it should be of. Value to those who must select, evaluate, and live in rented houses or apartments. The text and illustrations are, therefore, presented as a means of teaching basic principles which may be applied to the design and choos ing of various kinds of habitations - single or multiple, inexpensive or medium-priced. Even though the book deals principally with the problems associated with home ownership in general, it does not neglect those other aspects of shelter. It emphasizes the necessity of visualizing the relationship of single and multiple dwellings to a city and regional plan. It calls attention to the need for decent habitation for those in the lower-income brackets and also to the limitations and the possibilities of low-cost and low-rent housing. While concentrating upon a phase of housing concomitant with the interests of those who own, or expect to own, their homes, it presents an analysis of those other types of shelter needed by the remainder of our population.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An A-B-C of Housing This pamphlet is intended to serve as a primer on housing. It is in no way a technical treatise on this complex subject, nor-is it proposed as an outline for a housing ordinance. The Commission publishes this material for the general public in the h0pe that many people may become interested in the housing question. A movement for better housing conditions in any community can not succeed unless it has the intelligent approval of the majority of citizens. Moreover, suggestions are made which will enable an industrious few to survey and study the general housing evils and problems peculiar to any one community. The Commission invites correspondence con cerning the subject matter of this pamphlet and, on request, will send a detailed plan of directions for making a complete housing survey of a city or town. Whenever advisable the Commission will send, without cost to a community, a housing expert to conduct such surveys.
