Author Description

Here is a book for anyone interested in London's problems. A proper evaluation of the issues facing the city's inhabitants, and especially its planners and politicians, requires an appreciation of the spatial patterns which make up the metropolis. This atlas illustrates the most significant patterns. It shows how London has developed over the centuries, maps its transport system, and identifies the present distribution of social classes, ethnic groups, housing resources, health, welfare and educational facilities. The data are derived from the 1971 census, and map is accompanied by an explanatory text.
