A look at the present plight and the future shape of town and country: compiled and Introduced by NICHOLAS TAYLOR Motorways and the Public Interest
The Greater London Development Plan Enquiry, already months behind schedule, has become so complex and so boring that it is easy to forget that on it depends the fate of the largest single piece of public investment ever proposed in this country, the £1,600-million plan for building three ringways round London.
Are the feelings of the ordinary citizen really represented at a public enquiry of this kind? Speakers include:
ROBERT VIGARS , Chairman of the Planning and Transportation Committee. Greater London Council, and DAVID DONNISON. Director of the Centre for Environmental Studies
Produced by LEONIE COHN
