A Comparative Observation of Three New Civic Centres

Croydon of Lodon, Defense of Paris, and Shinjuku of Tokyo

Abstract

A new civic centre is projected at some distance outside of old C. B. D. Over crowdness, lack of modern facilities, and expansion of traditional centre are the reasons for new centres. The origins, forms, services, way of construction, and the distance between the old and new are different by three examples. Shinjuku and Defense are similar in distance, about 6 km from the old centre, but Croydon is located 14 km from the City.
