The New Regional Pattern: Industries and Gardens, Workshops and FarmsP. Theobald, 1949 - 197 стор. In this new book-a companion volume to his THE NEW CITY (now out of print)-the author demonstrates again the soundness and practicability of his planning theories. But here he is dealing with, and applying these planning-principles on a large scale, reaching far beyond the city's boundaries into adjacent regions, integrating agriculture and industry and merging vast territory into an organic self sufficient entity. And here the author brings together an immense amount of heretofore unavailable information on this vital phase of planning. He unfolds a grand plan for better living, treating the whole complex subject as a major social, economic and political problem. The benefits of regional planning are many. Guided by an unselfish spirit it can restore order in the present chaos and regenerate the life of the people. A planned integration of agriculture and industry can bring our economic life into a sound and stable balance. By an organic development of the environment, toward the establishment of the good life, regional planning can create the condition to help us preserve our resources and our very life. In the present volume a good part is given to historical consideration together with facts, ways and means of achieving this task of regional planning. No utopian dreamer, Hilberseimer's plans are entirely feasible and his book should be read by many peoples of diverse professions. -- from dust jacket. |
