excerpts from a small booklet explaining the ideas behind the official County of London Plan. the Plan was produced during WW2 by the London County Council with the blessing of the government, as an exercise in 'blue sky thinking' for post-war reconstruction. some of the ideas, such as large-scale redevelopment, housing, zoning, were partially realised.

note that the County of London is the old LCC area, not the current larger Greater London which was created in 1965.
