1 apr 1969 anni - THE TRUTH COMES TOO LATE
Descrizione:
The report 'Motorways in London', published in 1969 by the architect/planner Lord Esher and Michael Thomson, a transport economist at the London School of Economics, calculated that costs for the Westway had been enormously underestimated and would show marginal economic returns.
They predicted large quantities of additional traffic that would be generated purely as a result of the new roads. Access to the new roads would soon be overwhelmed even before the rings and radial roads were near capacity, while about 1 million Londoners would find their lives blighted by living within 200 yards of a motorway.
