Book "Buchanan and after" by Gordon Mitchell and Colin Buchanan

This original 1964 publication, Buchanan and After: A Summary of the Buchanan Report, is an essential historical document covering post-war British urban planning and transport infrastructure.
 
Published by the British Road Federation directly following Sir Colin Buchanan’s landmark 1963 Ministry of Transport report Traffic in Towns, this booklet was compiled to break down complex architectural and traffic management ideas for wider civic circulation.
 
Co-authored alongside Gordon Michell, it paired official summaries from the Buchanan team with immediate policy proposals from the Federation, shaping how mid-century Britain envisioned balancing car ownership with town planning.
 
Slim, authoritative, and packed with period road strategy graphics, it remains a fantastic reference booklet for architectural historians, urban planners, and collectors of mid-century British social history.
