Originally published in 1952. This book addresses one of the most
pressing problems in town planning - the proper place of industry
in our towns. The author writes from the standpoint of a town
planner who realizes that factories are just as important as houses
and schools, and that if industry does not prosper, all our schemes
for urban reconstruction must fail through the lack of the
necessary resources. In the course of his research he has visited
hundreds of factories to get the necessary facts at first hand.
Almost as a by-product he describes in simple terms the manufacture
of such varied objects (to paraphrase Lewis Carroll) as "ships and
needles and silverware; chocolates and glue." Plenty of photographs
of industrial buildings in Britain and abroad are included, which
show how great an architectural transformation is possible, and
that an industrial area can become one of the showplaces of a town.
