John Gordon Dower (2 September 1900 – 3 October 1947)[1] was a civil servant and architect, who, as secretary of the Standing Committee on National Parks, produced in 1945 the first post-war official report which set out what National Parks in England and Wales should be like: An extensive area of beautiful and relatively wild country in which, for the nation’s benefit and by appropriate national decision and action, (a) the characteristic landscape beauty is strictly preserved, (b) access and facilities for public open-air enjoyment are amply provided, (c) wild-life and buildings and places of architectural and historical interest are suitably protected, while (d) established farming use is effectively maintained.[2] This report, and a subsequent one by Sir Arthur Hobhouse, laid the foundations for the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 which created the National Park system.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/94011|title=Dower, John Gordon (1900–1947)|last=Sheail|first=John|work=Oxford Dictionary of National Biography|date=May 2006|accessdate=18 September 2010}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Dower, John}}{{UK-architect-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|title=The History and Development of the Dartmoor National Park Authority Factsheet|url=http://www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk/lab-darthist.pdf/lab-historydevdnpa|publisher=Dartmoor National Park Authority|date=September 2004|accessdate=18 September 2010}}{{dead link|date=November 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 3 : 1900 births|1947 deaths|20th-century British architects |
