Much of the information included in my presentation was obtained from the following four books:
"Streets and Shaping of Towns and Cities" (ISBN 978-1-55963-916-3) by Michael Southworth and Eran Ben-Joseph and "Changing Suburbs Foundation, Form and Function" (ISBN 978-0-419-22050-3) edited by Richard Harris and Peter J. Larkham give an historical and modern day perspective of UK residential highways. They also look at the USA, Canada and Australia
"Estates An Intimate History" (ISBN 978-1-86207-985-4) by Lynsey Hanley concentrates on the history of social housing provision in the UK
"Modern Housing Estates A Practical Guide to the Planning, Design & Development" (ISBN 978-1-13553-830-9) by Stanley Gale, published in 1949, gives a perspective from that period
and if you want to find out more about general highway construction and its history you can refer to "Roadwork - Theory and Practice" (ISBN 978-0-7506-6470-7) by Peter Kendrick, Malcolm Copson, Steve Beresford and Paul McCormick |
