Most of the towns that are of any age do not seem to have been planned at all. Like the little negro girl, Topsy, in Mrs. Stowe’s famous novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” who, when asked who made her, said, “I expect I just grown,” these towns seem to have “just grown” without any plan at all.
Take any town in India like Calcutta, Bombay or Madras, or in England like Manchester, Leeds, or London itself, and you will find it began long ago as a small village, and, as the population increased, new houses and streets were built just as seemed most convenient at the moment, until the town gradually covered the surrounding country with bricks and mortar as it extended, without any definite scheme at all.
The result is a confused labyrinth of streets and roads and squares, that have been laid out with little consideration for convenience or health or beauty, and with none for any preconceived plan of the whole.
