TALKS OF PLANNING CITIES
New Ideal Social Forum Hears
Member of Reichstag.

Dr. Albert SuedebuTn, representative from
Nuremburg in the German Relcnstag
stoke on the planning of cities before the
New Ideal Social Forum at meeting last
night at Packer institute, Brooklyn He
d..x,Iored the fact that while most cities
had one or two good features each, practl-
caIlv no city combines all good features.
F,veu the model cities and towns failed to
meet his approval
DR. Suedekum quoted famous architect
as saying that it could not be expected
that people could make homes or prick
I,oxes looking out in front OF them upon
6rearv streets and behind on sQualid yaros,
sven though there was a good water supply
and city ordinances tended TO sanitary con-
ditjous Beauty and touch of 1maglna-
ton he said were necessary 10 make the
houses of the people appeal to them
In planning city. the speake- pointed
ont the most important consideration is the
arrangement for traffic. He extolled Wash
ing1on as the one perfectly planned city OF
america The arrangement OF the streets,
he said would make traffic congestion Tor
cve1. impossible. He said the situation in
Manhattan in this respect was bad because
the traffic there was cooped up IN streets
thar all run at right angles
DR.. Suedekum advocated separating the
business and the residential sections, ana
suppressins the smoke and noise nulsances.
