Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report to the Mayor and City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa on City Planning for Davenport There must also be provided rapid transportation for passengers and all sorts of goods into and out of the city, else the population will not be spread over a sufficient area, and the industries which support the people will not be carried on advantageously. The laying out of most American cities has been casual and thoughtless of future needs. The common rectangular lay-out, without any well-considered diagonals, causes a great daily waste of human and animal labor and of fuel; while high buildings, narrow streets and lack of open spaces make it impossible to keep the cities well aired and well sunned. To improve, or reform, the lay - out of most American cities is, therefore, a great public need, not only for beauty's sake, but for the sake of the health, efficiency and happi ness of their people - Charles W. Eliot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
