This book deals with the formation of the post-Second World War reconstruction and planning machinery in Great Britain; the re-planning efforts undertaken in post-war London; and in particular the redevelopment programme regarding its central area in the form of the comprehensive development projects. Originating from a PhD Thesis; the book recreates the atmosphere following step by step arguments and events at various political; socio-economic and technical levels. It also contributes to the understanding of succeeding developments in terms of planning theory and practice. The book is structured into three parts. The first one explores the administrative and statutory developments in town planning matters during the period 1940-59. The second part deals with the plans proposed for London as a whole from independent and official organisations mainly during the 1940s. Finally; the third part examines the proposed projects for the rebuilding of the City of London and for special areas of Central London that suffered from bombing on both sides of the Thames.

I learned a lot reading this; some may have different opinions.I needed this for a g.e. course at my college and this was for Ethnic Musics. Our class was really interactive with this book and it helped us understand not only the material of the course but also gave us great history and stories to back it up as well. It also introduces us to the different genres of American music and even though I dont really like folk music; I was able to be open-minded and open-ears when listening to the many great examples of folk music.I also got this book for a lot cheaper than what my friends were paying so thats also great too.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
