Britain's What's On Event Guide
Town Planning in Lincoln, 1920-39 presented by Rob Wheeler
Town planning between the wars was based on the idea that there should be a formally agreed map, defining precisely what uses were permitted and what uses forbidden. That was the idea; but in practice agreeing a map proved exceedingly difficult.
Underlying it all was the idea of the Garden Suburb. This was treated - in Lincoln, at least - as the only acceptable form of housing. The transformation of Lincoln's urban population into suburban respectability was assisted at all stages by town planning, even if that goal had never been formally articulated
