British architects and town planningj
experts, who are making plans-for a1
great remodelling of British cities
,if ter the war, declare that “one of the
most successful experiments In new
types of industrial and urban hous
ing is that which has been made by
im- Italian good dwelling society in
tc. The idea of adopting some
thing similar In England has been
proposed.
"The Italian Society,” says a report!
on the Jiome experiment, "has erect-j
ed a block of working class flats con-!
tabling 800 dwellings, designed for!
all types and sizes of families. The j
flats are built on four sides of a
square, with a garden in the center,
in which the ‘Children’s house- stands
by itself.
“You enter rbe quadrangle by a
great gateway. To the left is a room i
for storing baby carriages and bi- j
cycles. To the right is the .porter’s
office, the postoffice and telephones
for general use. Inside, nearest the 1
gate. ”r U” wer beds and an open
space for the pleasure of everyone.
Beyond are the children's gardens.
then the little low building called the
Children’s house, a charming-place,
with great windows that stand
open to the air, ami covered with
rambler roses. Here is the’nursery
school for children under seven. Ail
ether big room' in the Chilli hen’s
house is the ‘after school' where the
children over seven do their home
lessons on returning from school, un
der supervision cgdin conditions that
they could not possibly find in their
own homes.
“The ‘after school,* the nursery
school, and the cloak rooms Occupy
the whole of the front of the Child
ren's house. On the other side there
is a group of rooms whose nse is
common to the whole establishment
