ผลของการพัฒนาเมืองภายใต้อิทธิพลการผังเมืองตะวันตก : กรณีศึกษาเมืองลพบุรี / ธนาพร เทียมศรีรัชนีกร = Effectiveness of urban development under western urban planning influence : a case study of Muang Lop Buri / Thanaporn Tiamsrirutchaneekorn
The objective of this thesis is to study and evaluate the implementation of applying western city planning in developing Lopburi province in the age of General P. Pibulsongkram. The suggestion of appropriate and effective planning for Lopburi is also included in this study. General P. Pibulsongkram had developed Lopburi to be an important military city for the country as well as new city area expanded from the old city area supporting growth and reduce population density in the old area. This development had swiftly increased in housing and population in the new area afterward but now the growth has been decreased due to limited area availability. This resulted in an increase in new housing outside city area and high density in the city which ruins the value of inner city. To solve above problem, this study has suggested physical renovations of the city and developed inner city area to be an important commercial center. At the same time expand the city by developing new area outside city to reduce the high-density population's problem. The physical development of both new and old area should be in the same direction and be harmony.
