Park and Planning Commission
in Maryland. The correspond
ing group across the river bears
the resounding title of the North
ern Virginia Regional Planning
and Economic Development Com
mission. In addition, there are
lesser commissions for Arling-
ton, Alexandria and Fairfax
Counties and for Falls Church.
Although each of these groups
enjoys virtually complete plan
ming jurisdiction within its own
territory, the result has not been
as discordant as might be feared.
From necessity, the different
plans have dovetailed into a
more or less unified whole. The
last version of this master blue
print might be found in the
Comprehensive Plan for the Ma
tional Capital and It's Environs, +"
published a year ago by the WASH
ington commission.
The difficulty has arisen less
from competition among planning
groups than from a common lack
OF success in selling their plans
to their various governments
One cause of this difficulty is
the expense involved. The other
is competition from another di-
Irection - from planning stats
within the governments them
selves.
Inevitably. every Government
department that has a finger in
city development has one or more
lpet projects of it's own. These
projects may or may not be CO.
ordinated with a larger plan for
city development. Often, they are
not. And yet these limited projects
compete very effectively with the
broader programs proposed by the
planning agencies.
An example might be found in
the work of the Regional High
way Planning Committee, which
recently published the first in
stallment Of a long-range plan
for highway development in the
Washington area.
The work of this committee has
been hailed quite properly as an
important step toward inter-
jurisdictional teamwork. It rep
resents the joint effort of the Dis
trict Department of Highways
the Virginia Department of High
ways and the Maryland State
Roads Commission. Representa-
ltiveS from the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
the Bureau Of Public Roads, the
