Town planning in Madras : a review of the conditions and requirements of city improvement and development in the Madras Presidency

Lanchester, H. V. (Henry Vaughan), b. 1863 · 1918 · London : Constable · 82 pictures

A professional town-planning report by the British architect H. V. Lanchester, published in London by Constable in 1918 for officials and engineers working in the Madras Presidency. The plates are high-contrast line plans — street grids, block-by-block building footprints, hatched contours, hilltop fortifications and north arrows — usable as texture, map motifs and abstract black-and-white pattern.
