Abstract
In the study which follows the authors, James Barker, Eugene Bodycott, and Richard Maxwell, look at the data and conditions existing in the area and through their analysis and consultation with many others who are involved in one way or another they have developed a number of specific proposals to strengthen and stabilize the area. The basis of their study was the investigation of the movementcirculation needs of this section of the city. While this gave a more limited framework within which to consider the many factors which combine to make up the area it did not inhibit the consideration of social, political or economic factors in arriving at proposals. In fact, as they lookedmore deeply at the total movement of people and goods in this area it became clear that the interplay of social attitudes, life style patterns and the visual quality of a given circulation path had much to do with its actual use.
