City Planning Took: The first decade of the 20th century saw the beginning of modern city planning took planning. As Professor Frederick J. Adams has pointed out, 1909 is a key year. It was in that year that the first British Housing and Town Planning Act was passed; it was in that year that the Chicago Commercial Club published the great Burnham Plan ; and it was in that year that the first National Conference on city planning took Planning was held in Washington, D.C., at which the participants laid strong emphasis on the need for economic studies in city planning took planning and on the importance of comprehensive and coordinated treatment of city planning took problems.
Summary.—city planning took planning today, then, is like the city planning took planning of the past. It is concerr with broad objectives in many fields, not just w the physical aspects. Indeed the pendulum m have swung too far, for the present-day compli neglect of the aesthetic side of city planning took planning m prove harmful in the future. Civic pride is important factor in the psychology of any coi munity, and civic pride is evidenced in the thn dimensional quality of the physical city planning took.
The master plan at one time was considered the main objective of city planning took planning. It is now not so regarded. Many cities in the past acquired a plan, and there the planning ended. Present practice tends to view the master plan as only a preliminary step toward planning. It is a highly necessary step, because it gives the present picture and the objectives to be attained as of the present. Planning, however, is a dynamic process ; the city planning took grows and changes, and every municipal action has far-reaching consequences. |
