High Density Living
This book is not concerned simply with building by government or local government agencies, nor solely with one particular type of development—for example, the point block—nor with pictorial data alone, or work in a single country; but with all of these and other equally vital subjects, including town-planning considerations, economics, constructional problems, sociological factors, and home ownership, to name but a few. It is clear that it is the lack of this comprehensiveness which has permitted, regrettably, the piecemeal criticism from the garden-city adherents and others to continue. Although, even as recently as five years ago, important and valuable work had been done in the high-density housing field, especially in Stockholm, London, and New York, it was still, to a considerable extent, passing through a pioneering phase, and a vital battle had yet to be won. In some parts of the world, this is still true today, although to a far more limited extent, as can be judged through the wide selection of work that is illustrated in this book.
