This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Guide in the Preparation of Town Planning Schemes Town Planning simply represents the attempt of the community to control town development with a view to providing health, convenience and beauty. There have, in the past, been times when the City as the centre, has had predominating importance. Great and beautiful cities like Athens or Venice have resulted. They were the expression of what was best in the life of their citizens, and were planned to minister to its convenience and to enhance its glory. It is somewhat remarkable that in spite of the vast development of scientific organization as an important element of industrial life throughout the last century, We should have failed entirely to apply this organization to our city development. We have allowed our towns to grow in such a haphazard manner that we find the banks of our canals and the margins of our railway sidings crowded with rows of cottages, while the materials of our industry, for want of immediate access to these very canals and sidings, have to be carted long distances at great expense and often with much resulting congestion of traffic. Town Planning when fully carried out, means the reservation for industrial uses of the areas most valuable for the purpose by reason of having immediate access to rail, road or water conveniences. It means arranging for the most convenient communication by road or railway between these industrial regions and the most healthy and attractive areas; which again would be reserved and most carefully laid out for resi dential purposes. It also means providing the most convenient means of access possible between both these areas and the great centres of exchange, of wholesale and retail business, all which would enormously add to the efficiency of the population, facilitating their industrial activities and rendering their dwellings more healthy and attractive. The movement which has brought into being Mr. Burns' Town Planning Act, and which is seeking to find through that Act the means of realizing its aims, indicates a great development of the civic spirit and if this continues to grow it is not too much to say that Town Planning will prove to be the first step in the creation of a new type of beautiful cities expressing what is best in modern life.

Download or read book The Case for Town Planning written by Henry R. Aldridge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Case for Town Planning: A Practical Manual for the Use of Councillors, Officers, and Others Engaged in the Preparation of Town Planning The first of these reasons is that many members and officers of Local Authorities, and others interested in the subject of Town Planning, have been kind enough to order copies of the book in advance, and as a result the financial risk in publishing has'been appreciably lessened. The second reason is that Councillors and Officers of Local Authorities in Great Britain are quietly and steadily proceeding with their work of administration in calm confidence that the storm will pass away and that the foundations of our national life will be as secure as ever' they were. It is for men of this type and this temper that the book has been written. It is hoped that with this book in their hands they will be able to use the period of waiting by quietly maturing their plans for the period of fresh activity and growth which will follow the war. From one point of View indeed the period in which this book is published is a specially favourable one. The sense of common citizenship was never greater than it is to-day, and proposals in regard to the improvement of the conditions under which the masses Of the people live will receive warm support. Of the many criticisms which will be expressed in regard to this book the chief will certainly be that it is more a compilation than a book. If this be a fault, then it has been deliberately committed. Many quotations have been made on the ground that they will help to make clear several difficult points. If this desirable result is attained, then the main object in the writing of this book will be achieved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Town Planning in Practice written by Raymond Unwin and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1909, Raymond Unwin's Town Planning in Practice: An Introduction to the Art of Designing Cities and Suburbs is an extraordinary compendium of images and theories on urban design. As a member of the generation of planners following Camillo Sitte and preceding the emergence of the modern planners of the 1920s, Unwin considered planning a design-based discipline rather than a purely technical one. He believed that artistic and practical criteria were mutually supportive and carried this out in his work by creating plans that represented a unity of art, science, and technology. Unwin is perhaps the greatest figure of the Garden City movement, which has had a tremendous impact on planning in both Europe and the United States. Although Town Planning has become the bible of neo-traditionalist planners, this book is not a nostalgic view of past planning ideas; rather, it is a useful, forward-looking book that holds valuable lessons for today's planners. Its insightful critical analyses of many towns throughout Europe and the United States are accompanied by photographs, plans, drawings, and six foldout maps. This reprint of Town Planning in Practice includes a new preface by Andres Duany and an introduction by Walter Creese.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Town Planning in Practice: An Introduction to the Art of Designing Cities and Suburbs 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. I have made free use of ideas gathered from many sources which it is impossible for me to acknowledge in detail; but I would like here to express my indebtedness to those with whom I have collaborated, particularly to Mr. Barry Parker; also to Mr. Edwin L. Lutyens, whose suggestions in connection with the Hampstead Garden Suburb work have been invaluable. My thanks are due to many whose writings on the subject I have found helpful - Mr. Horsfall, Dr. Stiibben, Mr. C. Mulford Robin son, Professor Geddes, Mr. Phene Spiers, Professor Schultze Naumburg, Mr. Halsey Ricardo, Mr. Reginald Blomfield, to mention the names of a few only of those of whom I think with gratitude in this connection. I would like also to record my appreciation of the way in which my requests for permission to use valuable illustrations and other material have throughout been met. These are, I hope, all acknow ledged in their places. I am particularly indebted to Dr. Stiibben and to the editor and publisher of Der Stadtebau, also to Herr berlepsch-valendas, and to the officials of many German towns, who have given me the greatest assistance at different times, and have always been willing to help an Englishman to understand their town-planning methods and to profit by their experience. Last, and by no means least, my acknowledgments are due to many of the members of my own staff who have co - operated with me in various ways. Without Mr. Wade's charming and imagina tive pictures and the very useful illustrative sketches made by Mr. Mottram, or wanting the numerous diagrams prepared by Mr. Hollis and others, the book would have been but imperfectly illustrated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern City Planning and Maintenance A movement of the first importance and of great pro portions is taking place among American cities, which while it has not attracted any very marked degree Of attention on the part of the general public, is yet one which will have lasting consequences of the most beneficial character. This movement, the replanning of cities, has only begun to take shape in this country in the last few years, but already great progress has been made, and plans of the most elaborate and magnificent character have been proposed. The subject is one which is of such importance in the social, aesthetic and practical betterment of cities, that it is of vital interest not only to the city administrator, the engineer and the architect, but also to every citizen who has the advancement of his city's welfare at heart. One of the reasons which has retarded public interest in city planning lies in the fact that there is to be had very little information on the subject in a form generally available. While a considerable literature exists in French and Ger man, principally in German, there is but little in English and what there is consists principally of a few books published of late years in England, having in view the object of adapting German practice to English conditions. The purpose of this volume is to present, in a concise and comprehensive form, the principles of the art of city planning as they have been developed in modern times. The covering of the subject in such a way in a single volume has not before been attempted, so that nowhere else is to be found-the summarization of principles and practice as here presented.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Carrying Out the City Plan: The Practical Application, of American Law in the Execution of City Plans The reason for preparing this book is the astonishing variation in the practical efficiency of methods actually employed and prescribed by law or legal custom in different parts of the United States in acquiring land for public purposes, in distributing the cost of public improvements, and in other proceedings essential to the proper shaping of our growing cities to the needs of their inhabitants. Mere variation in method would be of little more than academic interest in itself, but variations that result in obstructing the path of progress in one community and clearing it in another are of large practical importance. The extent and significance of these practical variations have impressed themselves more and more strongly on the writer in the course of an extended practice as a landscape architect, especially in connection with the design and execution of such municipal improvements as parks, playgrounds, public squares, parkways, streets, the placing of public buildings and the improvement of their grounds.

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.
