Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book argues that comprehensive planning is not only for large cities but is especially crucial for small towns and villages. The author points to the rapid growth of smaller towns, which are poised to become the larger cities of the future. He emphasizes that planning for these smaller places has the unique advantage of being able to correct problems before they become intractable. This perspective resonates with the early 20th century concern for urban reform, a period marked by anxieties about the uncontrolled growth of cities and the social problems it engendered. The author highlights the importance of foresight, skill, and the development of an overarching plan to guide growth. He uses the example of Glen Ridge, New Jersey to illustrate how a small town can successfully address its future challenges through thoughtful planning. By considering the town's natural features, public needs, and future development, Glen Ridge serves as a model for other communities to emulate. This book offers a compelling and practical approach to ensuring that the growth of smaller towns is both orderly and beneficial to all.
