Excerpt from City Planning: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Subject, Arranged for the Classification of Books, Plans, Photographs, Notes and Other Collected Material With Alphabetic Subject Index Definition of the Field of City Planning The term City Planning is used to signify "the intelligent control and guidance of the physical conformation, growth, and alteration of cities, towns, or considerable parts thereof, considered in their entirety"; or, more briefly, the organization of the physical city, town, or district to fit it to its complex use. It includes the planning of towns, suburbs, villages, and any considerable urban, suburban, or even intimately related rural districts. Material other than that embraced under the above definition is included in this outline only when the subject-matter is treated or considered as having a definite relation to the city plan or its elements. For the purposes of this classification, planning includes re-planning, and the two are regarded as virtually synonymous. Current usage sanctions three different meanings for the phrase city plan: first, the form of organization scheme, conception - purely subjective; second, the drawings, graphic expressions of this conception; third, the physical city resulting from the carrying out of this conception, the scheme realized; these two latter uses being strictly objective. We use the phrase in only the first of these senses, the subjective - the scheme or form of organization. Usefulness Of The Classification That all the topics here included have been found necessary in order adequately to care for the arrangement of the ideas now current in city planning - whether expressed in literal or graphic language - is an impressive indication of not only the present magnitude of the subject of City Planning itself, but also the volume of thought already on record within this field.
