Tudor Walters

Sir John Tudor Walters PC (25 February 1866 – 16 July 1933) was a Welsh architect, surveyor and Liberal Party politician.

[9] He is best known for the Tudor Walters Report that appeared just as the World War was ending in November 1918 and influence British housing policy for a century.

[10] Walters was inspired by the garden city movement, calling for spacious low-density developments and semi-detached houses built to a high construction standard.

Older women could now vote so local politicians started listening to them, and in response put more emphasis on such amenities as communal laundromats, extra bedrooms, indoor lavatories, running hot water, separate parlours to demonstrate respectability, and practical vegetable gardens rather than manicured yards.

[11] With it Prime Minister David Lloyd George set up a system of government housing that followed his 1918 campaign promises of "homes fit for heroes".
