This was a useful mechanism for providing new infrastructure: if these areas were to be redeveloped, they could be carved up and disfigured without fear of the consequences to what was already there. It would all be replaced anyway. The new road infrastructure that was proposed was therefore designed using the CDAs as stepping-stones to avoid too much damage to the more desirable areas. The diagram above neatly illustrates how the Inner Ring Road was almost entirely within the boundaries of the CDAs surrounding the city centre.
