HOMES OF WORKINGMEN, Representative Figures Selected Which, Though . Mostly Not Applicable to American Cities, Will Give a Good Idea of Foreign Methods. The, regulation of the heights of buildings is. of course. only one of a considerable number of regulations en- forced abroand. Among other impor- tant ones are those affecting the ratio of the area of the building to that of tlfé .lot. the separation- of buildings, cl;gges of buildings, classes of areas be- twm buildmgs', minimunipumber . of rooms in an apartment, window- area, height of ceilings and cubic contents of sleeping rooms, says Frank Koester, authorzyf “Modern City Planning aml Mainwnance it */Representative figures ;arg selected | which, though in many cases not ap- plicable to American cities, will give a good idea of the regulations in effect abroad. built over in cities in the grand duchy regarded as being very well worked out, varles, according to the zone. from three-quarters to four-fifths of the total figures ‘are reversed. it being permissi- ble to build only over from oune-quarter to one-fifth of the total area of the lot. In other cities the regulations vary, WORKINGMEN'S APARTMENT HOUSES, NU- REMBERG. being about on the same basis, but al- ways differing in accordance with the zone. The buildings and the courts are di- vided into from five to nine different classes, and regulations are made to suit each class, The regulations abroad in regard to the classes of buildings which are used as workingmen’s homes require the apartment used by a family to consist of not less than three rooms—a living room, a steeping room and a kitchen. The living roown is required to be of a certain size—in Wiesbaden, syuare feet: throughout Baden. 107 square feet; in Karlsrube. 130 square feet; in Mannheim. 160 square feet, at the min- Iu the latter city the kitchen than 130 square feet in ar ‘There e lso requirements as to the to area of the rooms, which in Dusseldo azdeburg and through- out Saxouy must be not less than 320 square feet. The height of the rooms is generally placed at not less thap 2.5 meters, or 82 feet. while the window area must b from owe-eighth to one-twelfth of the area of the tioor, an average tigure being one-tenth. The regulations as to space not huilt "upon are sumetimes based on the num- ber of families oecupying a building. In Altona 160 square feet per family must be left open in the main portions of the city. while in the suburbs 1,100 square feer per family. must be left open. Among other regulations are those in reference to light. there being pro visions to the effect that certain win- dows of buildings shall receive light at angles of from 30 to 60 degrees over the ‘walls of others, but these regula- tions are of a somewhat complicated nature. and not easily applied. In Lon- don the right of “anclent lights™ bas had the effect of causing theaters to be. ‘built practically. underground. so that the highest priced seats are lo- cated in the gallery near the street lev- el. and the pit is far below. Regulations in, some German cities extend 'to the styles of architecture. For example. in old cities which were once fortified; such as Nuremberg. all buildings within the ring or location of the old fortifications must be built in the fourteenth century style.

Mawson, the English landseape architect and city planner, who has recently returned.to London from Athens, has given thg following information as to his great town .plan- ning scheme: #I had the .h nor of -plnclng certaln tentatiye WOSN! -before, their majes- tles, the p&emier and the mayor, and the. snggeste(l developments were ap- proved. These were the result of three wonths® study and 'work, and the ideas |- are now to be’embodiéd in a prelimi- nary ‘set of plans. which 1 hope to sub- mit in three months. *1 have made a thm'ough study and investigation of the .archaeological problems, hecause archaeologists are those with whom a modern town plan- ner ‘has chiefly to contend. 1 bave studied the matter with Dr. Karo, the famous archaeologist responsible for the excavations of the German School of Archaeology in Athens and a lead- ing .authority on ancient remains. 1 spent considerable time with Dr.”Karo going over every yard of the ground likely to be affected by the new city the area over which excavations will be conducted. “The scope.of the work of recon- structing the city will be even. more extensive than was originally expect- ed, as the largely increasing population that is flocking into Athens demands very extensive street planning for the future. *It is now agreed that there must be very considerable clearing of undesir- able property in the neighborhood of the Acropolis, around which a great boulevard is to be constructed. Be- fore. however, much demolition takes place it is proposed by the mayor. M. Beneckes, who has lived a great deal in England and bhas been much inter- ested in the question of the housing of the people.. especially in Bournville, Port Sunlight and other garden cities, that an extensive housing scheme shall be developed—a scheme planbed on tbhe latest English models, but adapted, of course, to the climatic cenditions of Greece.” Mr. Mawson said that be bas sub- mitted to the authorities rough sug- gestions for dealing with the new gov- ernment center, saying that the start- ing point of the plan will be the new anion railroad station, into which-it is proposed to bring the several lines of railway now running into Athens. The suggestion respecting the site of the atation has met with general approvil and probably will be adopted. “}t will afford a panoramic view of great beauty of the most interesting portion of ancient an@ modern Athens and will give a visitor a fine—and probably lasting—impression of the city.” he continued. “One view will include the Temple of the Winds, an- other the Acropolis, another the Tempie of Theseus and znother the new gov- ernment center. The Lycabettus will form another view. while still another vista will lead up to the benutiful park. “The new houses of puarliament, the varjous ministries and other important buildizgs in the government center i now sreceiving much careful attention. I have had several interviews recently with M. Gennadius. the Greek minister in London. who has taken zreat inter- est in this part of the work. Provision is made in the scheme for well placed first class hotels, and it isl, anticipated that the estended sugzes- tions will lead to the remcval from sn- cient Athens of numerous small facto- ries and.the grouping of them in a new area, w! helo they will be in direct eom- munieation with the railways. Thus heavy traffic will largely be taken fron: the roads in the ancient city. Mr. Mawson believes that the popu- lation of Athens will in tem years reach half a million and that the rail- way traffic will bave increased Gve- fold. He also contends that the re- planning scheme’ will be on the lines of economic as well as aesthetic devel- opment. Philadelphia has twenty-five inde- pendent women shoemakers.
