ABSTRACT
A long-accepted tenet of town planners is that industry should be separated from residential areas. It was pointed out that when industry and housing are mixed together, each interferes with the proper functioning of the other. It is observed that industrial processes are always changing and that even an industry that uses impeccable methods today may find it necessary to adopt new processes which will be a nuisance to its surroundings. In the case of large factories, siting away from a main road considerably reduces the direct advertising value of the building itself, although the mere fact of being in a well-known estate has its value. The fault of the older industrial towns often lay more in their haphazard and chaotic layout and in their high industrial density than in their lack of industrial zoning as such.
