Town Planning and Its Relations to the Professions Involved

There is much in the speaker's mind, and in the minds of most other students of town planning, that is not yet altogether clear. The art and science of town planning still contain many unknown elements. One thing, however, is fairly clear, namely, that town planning, if it is to accomplish its purposes in a worthy manner, must be broad in the professions it employs. If permanent results of a high order are to follow, the engineer, the architect, the landscape architect, and also the lawyer, and those of other allied professions, must be united in a joint enterprise, one which should have variety, harmony, and unity. The planner of the town himself may be an engineer, an architect, or a landscape architect.
