It proposes that the presumed Overpopulation crisis of London should be solved by dispersal to a new town or towns with efficiently planned Transportation. One of Freese's illustrations of such a town has in its background a "great wind-driven power station", prefiguring modern wind farms (> Power Sources). [JC/DRL]
