Descrição: The capital survived the Blitz only to be attacked by zealous city planners - but 50 years ago, its citizens fought back We marched. Five orbital motorways would be served by radials and "expressways", dividing the metropolis into precincts, lined by blocks of flats and workplaces. Attention then turned to Piccadilly Circus, regarded not as a London landmark but as merely a traffic bottleneck. Historic area protection was pioneered by an MP, Duncan Sandys, in a private members' bill of 1967.
