Rearrangement of land uses

447

The techniques we have outlined would enable the effects and advantages to be assessed and judged of the rearrangement, in alternative ways, of the land uses and activities in a town. The effects of such rearrangement would be likely to be very slow in being felt, and in many instances, though valuable in themselves, would be no more than marginal to the main problems of movement. Nevertheless, as suggested in para. 99, it is an aspect of planning policy that should always be considered, and it could play an important part in suitable cases.
