Everyone will agree that the higher housing standard, which has been secured in this country since the close of the Great War has been truly remarkable. The provision of so many thousands of houses, with modern conveniences, and with the density so much reduced, will undoubtedly have a very definite effect upon the AA, the relationship of housing schemes to existing built up areas, considerations of transport, social amenities and the like were more or less put into the background - in short, there was no planning. It was an effort, which concerned itself with nothing else than the erection of houses.
