TOWN PLANNING CONFERENCE.
This Conference, convened by the National Housing and Town Planning
Council, was held at the Westminster Palace Hotel on April 1st and 2nd, to
consider the practical town planning of Greater London as a whole. Whether
the London County Council was represented or not I could not ascertain. It
was attended by representatives of the suburban authorities within 15 miles
radius of Charing Cross. Councillor Cadman, the Architect, the Engineer
and the Medical Officer of Health attended to represent Edmonton.
As the one nearly a year before considered the Birmingham (Harborne and
Quinton) town planning scheme, which had received the approval of the Local
Government Board, so this time the Ruislip—Northwood scheme, then nearly
at its final stage, was described by Councillor Elgood, Chairman of the Town
Planning Committee, and Mr. E. R. Abbott, Clerk of the Ruislip—Northwood
Council. Besides, it was felt generally that as the town planning movement is
making great progress in London and suburbs, it was quite worth while for the
representatives of Greater London to meet together for two days and exchange
information on their plans for improving each area. Many points of difficulty
in administration and procedure were elucidated during the debates that occurred
between the reading of the papers submitted.
Interesting papers were :—
1. " The designing and construction of workmen's cottages in urban areas
under town planning schemes," by Councillor Harold Shawcross, of
Lancashire.
