Chosen in A Policies Plan for the Year 2000 over sprawl, satellite cities and other alternatives, the corridor concept was adopted by President Kennedy in November 1962 as the basic development scheme for the National Capital Region, and its radial pattern is echoed in the Metro system that followed. The bold olive, grey and blue design is a fine example of mid-century planning graphics. Offered as the map with its facing explanatory key and text, two separate sheets from the original spiral-bound report, each about 25 × 25 cm.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371661447515,"sku":"P-7-028555","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-7-028555a_6eda4316-0797-486d-bfb8-e90dbf4d2451.jpg?v=1792148861","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/kennedy-era-washington-dc-national-capital-region-radial-corridor-plan-1961-map-p-7-028555","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
