Includes photographs and 15 folding maps (some in rear pocket) This was a planning scheme to prevent 'misuse' of land and protect property values. It highlighted traffic congestion, the distribution of recreational open space and haphazard intermingling of land uses. The plan identified a number of problems, such as the congestion at St Kilda Junction, that were not addressed until decades later. The plan also recognised the value of Melbourne's waterways as an open space network.city planning -- victoria. -- maps, city planning -- victoria -- melbourne, city planning -- victoria, civic improvement -- victoria -- melbourne, melbourne -- (vic.), cartography
