About this Item

220pp. Interesting town planning literature reference/interest. First ed. John Sutton Nettlefold (1866-1930), was a Birmingham industrialist and social reformer, best known as the author of books on housing and town planning based on his experience as chairman of Birmingham?s City Housing Committee. In this book he focuses partly on garden cities and partly on the potential role of inland waterways in the future UK economy, arguing that they would be more beneficial than railways in reducing transport costs and would encourage the dispersal of industry from existing urban communities to new townships built alongside the lines of the waterways on garden city principles. A very good copy - clean and bright. Scarce. PARROTT BOOKS - established for over 20 years offering a prompt friendly and efficient service.
