marked for postwar housing in the

The likelihood of technical i'm

an inadequate housing supply for

The real estate industry now

The first of these is an approach to

the other is Industrial reconversion

Community planning and urban
land development has occupied the

and national planners for many

cities, which never before had plan
ming boards, report that they have
"set the wheels in motion"
Both home buyers and the indus

that home buying entities the pur-

those facilities are good, the record
shows an increase in land and struc-
