London Chokes In Green Belt By K E IT H POW ER LONDON ` Reuters) -- There is a Krowing suspicion here that Ivondon is strangling on a bold stl-oke o f urban planning called the green belt. The idea o f a belt of green fields containing Britain's capi tal was put forw ard as long ago as the 17th century, but it wasn't until 3938 that the idea was incorporated into law. A green belt is a strip of mainly rural land surrounding a city on which it is proposed that there should bp no building that would clash with the rural character o f the land. In 1938, the green belt was hailed by planning committees from N ew York to Tokyo as an im aginative blow against ugly urban sprawl. The ogre wr as to be contained by quaint villages and sweet-smelling pastures. P R E S E R V E APR O AC H E S For a number o f cities in Britain, the green belt, indeed, reserved pleasant approaches. Greater London, however, is more a state within a state, stretching about 30 miles in each direction. The green belt plan fo r the capital ha«* produced a situa^on in which 220.000s resident squeeze into the 10 square miles of central area. N early 1,216,000 people just work there. Some commuters find them selves spending as much as two hours on trains, crossing idyllic " green belt" land close to London Critics of the green belt have described the system as an tique, a " green ditch between subtopias" wrhich obstructs es sential communications in the vast London area. The poll showed that the three most popular names were Nunassiaq (the beautiful land), Nunamarik (the home land), and N attilik (the land of the ja r seal). Rankin I n l e t Eskimos sur prised everyone, however, by rejecting all the s u g g e s t e d names and proposing one of their own: Inuit Nunanaga (the land o f the Eskim os). N O T AC C U R ATE Their argument was that all other names were not truly de scriptive of the area.
