Garden cities in theory and practice; being an amplification of a paper on the potentialities of applied science in a garden city, read before Section F of the British Association . age, to the end ofsupplying the inhabitants with the maximum ofgarden space and housing comfort at the minimumof rental. This I have been enabled to do by dis-carding the prevailing costly process of giving everycottage a highway frontage, and adopting the pecu-liar polygonal configuration I have figured and ex-plained in the preceding chapter. To summarize, it may be mentioned that theCity I propose would consist of three separateareas : A, the City proper ; B, the village with itsindustrial zone ; and C, the agricultural fringe ; andthe space allocated to them respectively is asfollows : A. City 822 acres. B. Village with Industrial Zone . 528 „ C. Agricultural Fringe .. 2,450 „ Had the original intention been carried out, thearea of the agricultural fringe would have been4,650 acres. For all practical purposes, however, the surrounding land, owned by others, willserve equally well, and the advantages of industrialand agricultural interweaving be reaped in a similarmanner. •. .oplesPark.
