Britain almost more than any other country in the world most seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats.
2.It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today.
3.In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from bottom to the top, and so on, as well as such details as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing.
4.It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus(对,对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned.
5.Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption that everyone prefers an individual home and garden.They also ignore the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work.
