Excerpts ftom “Planning With You” by the Editors of The Archi-

tectural Forum.

j ‘ Planning, like democracy, needs

more than the experts.

“There are two kinds of postwar planning. One kind could only result if the citizenry shrugs itr. shoulders and leaves the job to the experts. Not many people, certainly [ not the planners, want that. The : othei kind of planning will result if an informed group of active citizens in every community drouses public j opinion and guides the planners in gradually making each community | into a better place for your wife i your children, your neighbors and

j you.

Why Plan?

“Most American communities large and small, have grown without any plan. That was not so bad until they got too crowtled. To make matters worse, along came the automobile. Now it is so difficult to get around that you have to park your car half a mile from the store where I you want to shop. “Another thing which this crowding has clone is so to inflate the cost oi desirable land, both commercial and residential, that it too must be overcrowded. Look at the tangle Main Street is always in. No matter where you live, the chances are you have not enough ground to really enjoy your house, have a nice garden and a place to sit out with a little privacy. If you live in a large city, probably you have no place to sit oul at all except in a distant, public park. And it’s much worse, of course, for your children. Where do they play in the street ? And how many streets must they cross to get to and from school? Bad business,

I isn’t it?

I “It is really bad business in anoth1 er way. Mote and more families ate finding living under such conditions | too much to put up with. So they I move out of town into the country j Here they find life more as they like jit and sometimes less costly, but ® I tijey give up many conveniences and — jsicial opportunities. 1 Every family ! that moVesjout of town takes its taxo. | es with it, so the town not only loses

“Most and probably all of these truobles could have been avoided had we been smart enough years ago to plan properly for our needs when the shift to city and town came. Because we were not, we are paying heavily now for our lack of foresight. Must we go on this way forever, or is there still time to do something

about it?

“Now let’s skip a few centuries and look at our own country. Our colonial villages were not arranged like medieval towns, yet they too suited the needs of the people who lived and worked in them. Because many of the early settlers were refugees from religious persecution, the church was their first thought. Life was hard and building was a slow piocess. and so the church quickly became more than a religious edifice it also housed the town meetings, the nucleus of our demociatie government. Near the church the houses were clustered, partly for protection, but chiefly because people in a new and empty land wanted to live close to each other. It made trading, handicraft manufacture and social intercourse easier. The common around which the shops, houses; church and school were grouped was •' social center, a parade ground, a grazing field, and it gave light ami air breathing space to the com-

munity.

“You can see another form of the American city in small mid-western communities where the highway runs right through the center of town and is flanked for a few blocks by stores, a public building or two. and houses. This practice of bail ing on the highway *a.s ah right when travel was by coach. As cities grew and automobiles began to appear it became a source of great

congestion. The up-io-uate cit; builds by-pass roads so that through traffic goes around the town and does not add further tangles to a!-t-ady crowded local streets. This is just one way in which the 19th cen ;ury pattern of the American town s gradually changing to conform P aew ways of living. Win ( ities i)eea> "One reason our cities and town '| Jecay is because people build the wrong thing in the wrong plat Most of these people are just as goad ! citizens as the rest of us. They ar amply trying to make money by J building something on a piece of ground whicli they own. Unfortunitely, one mistake can start a neighborhood downhill. For example, new residential districts develop in towns, shops and filling stations »rew up with them. People nearest the shops moved away. •Other things cause decay too. Someone puts up a new, large office building where it is not needed. Tenants move out of older but stil! good juildings, leaving them vacant. A few people profit temporarily hrough these expansions, but in the end everybody loses. Our cities and towns have decayed so badly that many of them are bankrupt or soon may be. “This process is terribly wasteful. 1 It destroys property values. It breeds slums. Blight had gotten in its deadly work on sections of London long before the blitz came. “These conditions have long been recognized and some effort has been made to control them. Many comnunities have long had Planning Boards ami almost all have zoning regulations and other legal restrictions. All of these efforts have been right in principle and have prevented a had situation from getting worse. They have fallen short because th“y nave told people what they cannot ouild. but have done little to encourage the right kind of development. How < an We Fix Decay? “The way a dentist does by cleaning out the infected area and guarding it against further trouble. Our cities show many examples: Chicago has filled in its Varefront and created a handsome, accessable residential neighborhood and splendid waterfront parks. New York has taken many tax-delinquent proper-ties-and turned them into playgrounds. San Francisco has turned in old exposition grounds into a fine park. Hartford, Connecticut, has reuvenated decayed residential dU.rirts with insurance company office juildings set in their own beautifully andscaped parks. “A planless program is no soluion; it merely creates a new set of problems. Where do we tear down ind where do we build? Where do we put the parks and schools and new residential areas? Tearing down and building up. in other - words, must be part of an overall plan. And that plan must not only correct past mistakes, but prevent future ones.’’ “What the Modern City Needs” will appear in next week’s column.
