Abstract

A PAPER, “Housing, Town Planning and Full Employment” by F. J. Osborn, which has been reprinted from Town and Country Planning, points out that while the method of compartmental study of housing policy, town and country planning policy and building industry policy is essential owing to the complexity of the subject as a whole, there must also be co-ordination at a high level before major policy decisions are taken. There are, however, ominous signs of different accentuations and of a clash not far ahead. In particular, Mr. Osborn points out that the Minister of Health's housing circular of March 4 is reactionary in its planning implications, and if the local authorities act upon it before a planning policy is announced it will prejudice that policy and preclude its taking the new direction which the Government has been contemplating.
