Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Industrial Housing: With Discussion of Accompanying Activities; Such as Town Planning Street System Development of Utility Services and Related Engineering and Construction Features This book has been the result of a realization, on the part of the author and his associates, of the interdependence of many agencies and the need of the coordination of several professions in the development of a successful town plan and in the up-building of a contented industrial community. Unusual and unprecedented experiences, as a result of the Great War, followed several interesting earlier opportunities to become acquainted with and take part in various functions of the development of residence sections of towns for housing industrial workers. These ranged from the direction of large and comprehensive projects, providing for many thousands, to studies of smaller mining camps, to replace the heretofore customary groups of ill-assorted shanties. They also covered engagements from the beginning of investigations for determining needs to the fulfillment of a completed program. Thus the need of the budget, to balance requirements against resources, and of a rational plan from beginning to end of the enterprise, impressed itself as an early and ever present necessity. Certain factors have become outstanding and fostered from time to time, in the development of housing programs. First - following a belief that something must be done better to provide for workmen during the living hours of the day, attractiveness in houses has frequently been predominant. Second - pleasant surroundings have apparently loomed large and change from barrenness to blossoms has resulted, while gardens have also become an important feature. Third - the idea of community recreation, with playgrounds, swimming pools, municipal centers with buildings, meeting places, etc., has been developed, with a sudden realization of the need and desire for community expression. All of these steps and ideas have been good in themselves, but no one, however complete in itself, fills all the need of community life and spirit, and all too frequently attractiveness and pleasant surroundings have not meant healthfulness and correct sanitation, which are so fundamental to permanent good living.
