Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive guide to sustainable town planning and housing. The author argues that modern urban development practices are both wasteful and destructive, leading to poor quality, expensive housing and unhealthy living environments. The author advocates for town planning on comprehensive lines, arguing that it will make it possible to get the most out of limited land for the benefit of both the community and the owner without sacrificing quality. The author also discusses the importance of open spaces, playgrounds, and light and air for the physical and mental well-being of town dwellers, particularly children. The pursuit of these goals through legislation and policy is discussed, with comparisons made between policies that involve the demolition of existing buildings and those that encourage repair. The book draws on historical and contemporary examples to illustrate successful and unsuccessful housing and town planning policies, making it indispensable reading for anyone interested in the improvement of housing and living conditions.
