City Planning Story No. 3

Summary: Highlights the importance of city planning and zoning. Urges the adoption of city planning in order to reduce costs in the long term. Outlines what zoning can do - including making provisions for ample business districts, regulation of building height, and providing for quiet, conveniently located residential districts with uniform building sizes that make access to light and fresh air more equal. Stresses that tax-payer funds are wasted through poor or inadequate city planning.
