The book recreates the atmosphere following step by step the arguments and the events at various political, socio-economic and technical levels. It also contributes in the understanding of the succeeding developments in terms of planning theory and practice. The book is structured into four parts. The first one presents the main problems in the big British urban agglomerations before and because of the Second World War destructions The second part explores the administrative and statutory developments in town planning matters during the period 1940-59. The third part deals with the plans proposed for London as a whole from independent and official organisations during mainly the 1940s. Finally, the fourth part examines the proposed projects for the rebuilding of the City of London and for special areas of Central London that suffered from bombing and located on both sides of the Thames.
