The Law of City, Planning and Zoning (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 2018 M12 20 - 760 pages Excerpt from The Law of City, Planning and Zoning At first the movement in civic improvement was mainly confined to the idea of the City Beautiful so that the plans and reports dealt mostly with parks, civic centers and other specialized features that made their appeal through that idea, each one excellent in its way, but fulfilling only a narrow purpose too often totally unrelated to the city as a whole. It was not till later that the less showy but fundamental questions such as transportation, water supply, sewerage systems, etc., were taken into consideration as essential parts of civic improvement. Even then' the reports too often illustrated and placed great emphasis upon city embellishment and improve ment in other countries without making due allowance for the local conditions and specially for the legal status of city planning in those countries.
