Excerpt from The Planning of the Modern City: A Review of the Principles Governing City Planning
Subjects will be discussed that are not generally considered as falling within the scope of the engineer's activities, but they are all subjects with which one who is responsible for the develop ment of the city plan should be familiar. Perhaps the most important characteristic of any design should be its adaptability to altered conditions. If this be true with respect to a build ing, an industrial plant, a railway or shipping terminal which can be enlarged or replaced or even moved to another location, it is much more important in the case of the ground plan of a city, which cannot be rearranged or transferred to another place. There is no undertaking, therefore, which demands more careful study of what has happened elsewhere, what is likely to happen in a particular place, and the development of tenden cies which are sure to result in changes in the methods of living and conducting business, than the working out of the general plan for a city or for the successive additions to an existing city.
