ставьте к нему 5 вопросов. Text 11D Open spaces, parks and recreation grounds In locating open spaces, and parks, special consideration should be given to the preservation of places of natural beauty, such as woods, waterways, etc. With the check board system of planning, a large amount of valu- able ground is often wasted in the unnecessary provision of paved streets and passages. By carefully planning the main and secondary avenues, through traffic can be avoided and residential districts can be laid out in a far less costly manner, part of the space occupied by paved streets being utilized for open spaces, tennis courts, and chil- dren's playgrounds. Where individual gardens are not wanted, part of the land between the houses might be laid out as allotment gardens, or as gravel play- grounds, or as paved playgrounds, to prevent a lot of derelict gardens being attached to the houses. People's Parks are universally provided on the continent within or close to the city's gates, namely a large woodland garden or forest in- tersected by drives and walks and interspersed with spinnies and glades typical as far as possible of rural country. The creation of a fitting civic centre is one of the most important matter which should be considered. It should be dignified, impressive, whilst at the same time in harmony with the characteristics of the town itself and in keeping with the resource of the public. It should be as near to the centre of the city as it is possible, so planned that its archi- tectural features and beauty can be seen from many points of vantage. 118 The buildings usually comprised in such a centre are the town and public halls, offices, session courts, museum and art galleries, which, suitably designed and arranged in relation to each other, can and should form a civic centre worthy of the community. The regulations with respect to buildings will be one of the most important parts of a town planning scheme and will need very careful thought on the part of local authorities. In order to obviate overcrowding it is essential that a maximum number of houses per acre should be adopted for different grades of property. It would seem desirable in planning an area, that certain cen- tres should be fixed where shops, schools, churches, institutions and such like buildings should be grouped together. жүктеу/скачать 0.91 Mb.
