Author Of The Width and Arrangement OF
Streets: 4 Study in Town Planning.
Exclusive Sexsice The Survey Press Bureau.)
A famous English landscape architect
has Just been summoned to Greece to
make a city plan for Athens. The ex-
planation is that Athens has been -ex-
periencing that growth which in recent
years has been so marked a feature or
city life throughout the world. She finds
it necessary to provide ampler facilities
for her crowding traffic, new and shorter
avenues to the suburban residence dis
tricts that are growing up around her,
and more and larger parks for larger
population from whom the growing city
has been pushing the country farther
and farther away.
Athens has been brought face to face
with the common, worldwide problem.
She could be no more exempt from 1t
than is the railroad junction on the
prairie, the mining town of Wales, the
clean industrial city of Germany. She
has had to send for the city planner, as
Topeka lately did; as Calgary. Canada;
as Houston, Tex, and as staid New
Haven did.
Problem of Readjustment.
Everywhere. the growing city has to
meet the problem of readjustment. The
boy. putting on long trousers. takes
thought as to his future, and is better
for doing so. II is equally well, and
normal, for the city to do these things.
and all kinds of cities all over the world
are doing il.
So II has come about that what is called
city planning has developed into one Of
those rare and epoch-marking world
movements that are the great milestones
of history and that influence civilization.
For hundreds and hundreds of years,
cities had been cramped inside Of encom-
passing walls. The people were huddled
together for defense, and growth of popu-
lation meant an ever-closer crowding
There were no cleared spaces then for
Fairgrounds and parks. The very streets
were narrowed to the limit. many becom-
ing no more than mere slits between the
walls This was possible because the
towns. being of such restricted area, and
doing almost no manufacturing, had very
little vehicle traffic. II a person rode
anywhere, he went on horseback; but 1t
was not too far to walk wherever one
wanted to go, and there was little freight
to be transported.
Expansion of Cities.
Then, very suddenly, there came a Sc
ries of events that were dramatic in their
cumulative effect upon the city. The
engirdling walls were taken down, and
the city could expand. At the same mo-
ment there was a development of manu-
featuring and a building of railroads, that
brought into the cities a rush of popula-
ton. that forced expansion and choked
their streets with freight
The cities had to expand; and the more

became the use of vehicular transporta-
tion, necessitating new street adjust
ments. The city boundaries were pushed
farther and farther outward, and as fast
as they went the means Of transporta-
tion improved. The slow and numbering
old stage, or bus, was followed by the
horsecar, drawn more swiftly and
smoothly upon rails. Then came the cable
car. and then the trolley. A point four
miles from the center of town became
as near by street car as a point only one
mile out had been. As the streets were
extended mile upon mile, they created
need for parks and open spaces, and
these in their turn, absorbing city land,
hastened the towns expansion. Now the
telephone and automobile haye been de-
veloped, and are facilitating the outward
march of the town. 1t has been well
said that there has been more change in
urban conditions in the last fifty years
than in the 1000 years preceding
What wonder that such new and
strange demands have swamped the ia
cilities of cities built on the old plan;
what wonder that the new and now Sc
riously studied science of city planning
suddenly is finding a broad field of use
fulness; what wonder that cities every
where are calling for readjustment and
calling the more loudly as they are the
more progressive? 1t is a proof OF viril-
ity, not of weakness, when a community
takes up town planning. In Massachu-
sets, indeed, the legislature has enacted
law requiring every community of 10000
or more population to have a planning
board.
The Pioneers of Today.
To the present generation there has
been thus given the working out of a
problem that is brand new. The plan
ming OF towns for demands that were
undreamed of twenty years ago, the
building Of cities on a scale that must
have seemed impossible a generation
since. The pioneers of the last century
were the tanners of the wilderness: the
pioneers of the present are the builders
of cities. In London. said John Burns,
speaking late in 1918, upward Of 10000
acres have been absorbed in the urban
area in the preceding six years, and more
than 1,loO streets had been constructed.
From Is to 10 per cent of all the land
in modern cities is accounted for by
streets. In New York City, 1t was stated
last summer, there were 2.6T miles of
public streets. The value of the land they
occupied was estimated, with its i'm
provements, at s., 4ss, 600, o,ooo-"one-fourth
as great as the value of all the farm land
in the United States"
II the city planners should find some
way Of plating streets that would effect
saving Of as little as one per cent in
their area, think Of the high finance
that it would SPELL One per cent for
New York alone would have meant s4.-
SO. e.ooo-and New York is only one city. The
wise planning Of towns is evidently
big and vital problem, even aside from
its efficiency and social benefits. which
