Annotation

Suggestions toward an ideal Melbourne based on the author's understanding of the way all good cities are laid out. Large open space near the center; wide streets, particularly around public buildings; river with quays and public and private buildings; and trees along boulevards circling the town. Mostly a criticism of Melbourne as it is.
