d.h.lawrence on town planning and suburbs

[lorenza]

Hi
This is my first post so please do let me know if I'm doing something wrong...
Town planner Thomas Sharp in his book Town Planning (1940) cites D.H.Lawrence:
"a great scrabble of ugly pettiness over the face of the land"
"[the English] don't know how to build a city, how to think of one, how to live in one" "[...]they are all suburban, pseudo-cottagy and not one of them knows how to be truly utban"
However, Sharp does not give the reference. Would you know the source of these quotations? Are you aware of any work by Lawrence in which he may criticise town planning or suburbs?
Thank you so much in advance
I promise to read more D.H. Lawrence in the future...

Hi Lorenzo. I believe your author is referencing Lady Chatterly's Lover.

Many of Lawrence's novels deal with the encrouchment of industralism on the natural countryside. This is a very prominent theme in Lawrence's works, thus this quote would have developed out of that theme. I very well may have been in the text of 'Lady Chatterly's Lover'...that is interesting. I have read the book twice but don't really recall this particular section. I will have to review.
