Constructive Planning on Scale

may have the distinction of going further in
working out the social basis for constructive
city planning than has heretofore been pos

Elsewhere Mr.. Harrison has given brief
apt definition Of a survey as "the application
of scientific method to the study and solution
of social problems, which have specific geo.

spreading of its facts and recommendations
as will make them, as far as possible. the
