Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book gathers the proceedings of the 1939 National Conference on Planning. First held in 1910, the conference brought together leading American thinkers about urban planning. The 1939 conference addressed the relevant issues of that time, including the need for planning following the surge in industrial expansion and the displacement of rural workers to cities. The book's contents offer insights into the urban planning challenges of an era not unlike our own, such as inadequate housing and the need for coordinated land use planning. The essays consider the economic and sociological aspects of urban decay, drawing conclusions about the dire need for increased public involvement in housing and construction. The author promotes replacing shortsighted private development with coordinated construction to create permanent, livable communities. Farsighted thinking about the construction, design, and geographical layout of future American towns and cities is advocated throughout this book, making it a valuable historical resource for today's urban planners.
