Garden cities of to-morrow - Ebenezer Howard, Frederic James Osborn 2007 pp 151-159

Reading 6 (Week 16)
Chapter Thirteen - The future of London 

Discussing the population within London. The rents paid within London by the working population, for accommodation most miserable and insufficient, represents each year a larger and larger proportion of income, while the cost of moving to and from work, continually increasing, often represents in time and money a very considerable tax.

The majority of this reading talks about the idea of convincing people to leave the city and lying to them about the current housing condition.

I particularly found this reading very difficult to read and understand and felt there wasn't any structure. However after the lecture I feel I have a greater understanding of the separation of cites.
