Downtown Liverpool news archive 2003-2006
Check
out Downtown Liverpool in the media:
|
'The worst
of suburban life is that it wastes the one thing man cannot replace
- life itself. To add hours of travel every week to a man's ordinary
working day is just foolishly taking away all the advantages given by
lessening hours in industry. I have been in houses at 7.30 or 8pm and
heard the same tale: 'Not home yet. It takes him over an hour to get
from work'. the kids don't see their father from weekend to weekend.
He's merely the man who 'mucks about' in the garden every Sunday, to
them. Young workers who ought to be learning their job as future citizens
are arriving home too late and tired to do anything..'
Don't forget that whenever a new suburb is built and folk leave a crowded
area, they need over twice as many theatres, cinemas, churches, clubs,
etc, as they did before. This is not an exaggeration, since - with 12
houses to the acre - all distances are increased, compared with say
60 to the acre. In point of fact most of the new suburbs have far less
amenities than the crowded area. A suburb usually has no centre of its
communal life. Meeting-places, churches, playing fields, are essentials
of a suburb and should be there first, not several years after a suburb
is built.
Human life refuses to wait; and if a generation grows up before libraries,
churches and public baths are provided, a generation is created which
has learnt to do without them.
'The gardens are the best feature in a suburb. Most people like their
own garden, but some would rather have public ones, with someone else
to do the work in them'.
2005?
1935!
