Report of the Royal Commission, Appointed to Inquire Into and Report Upon the Means of Locomotion and Transport in London, 1905, Vol. 1 - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a comprehensive study of the Royal Commission on London Traffic’s 1903 inquiry into the improvement of London’s transport system, including railways and trams. The Commission identified the city’s severe road congestion as the main obstacle to efficient transportation, concluding that wider streets and a coherent road plan were necessary. It recommended the creation of a central authority to oversee London’s transportation. The book also explores how this problem relates to the city’s chronic housing shortage, particularly in the working class population. The author establishes that a better and cheaper transportation system would not only reduce overcrowding on public transit but also allow workers to seek more affordable housing outside the city center. Thus, investments in transportation infrastructure would improve living conditions for London’s population and could stimulate economic growth.
