BRESSEY Sir Charles & LUTYENS Sir Edwin

Highway Development Survey 1937 (Greater London)

London, HMSO, 1938. iv, 68pp, incl 6 plates of diagrams, 2 large folding road plan maps in rear pocket. 33x22, red cloth, glt text. Cloth marked and bowed, foxing throughout, maps have been mounted on cloth - they are intact and complete but browned - and the resulting increase in bulk has stretched the binding and split the map pocket. Fair thus. The Bressey Lutyens Report. A scarce and informative item, issued by the Ministry of Transport. A late '30s attempt to solve the eternal problems of London traffic. Bressey, who carried out most of the work, was a well-known traffic engineer. Little attention is paid to mass transit solutions, although some ideas for roads over railways, are presented. Motorways are already being mooted.
