S A “motor-age” town, built in ac- cordance with the latest ideas of city planning “from the ground up,” in such & way as to take care of motor vehicle traffic and still safeguard chil- dren _and pedestrians, is described by the Planning Foundation of America in a report made public in New York tod: Halled as “one of the most signifi- eant achievements in recent city plan- ning, is town, as described in the foundation's report, is attracting the attention of realtors and city planners in the District of Columbia and else- where throughout the country. Outstanding features of the town are the unique arrangements for traffic and the safeguarding of pedestrians. “To separate definitely the traffic streets of these ‘rhade-to-order’ towns from the residential garden spaces; to provide a complete system of safety short cuts and foot-way from the homes to the stores, the school and the rail- road station, and to weave a parkland pattern through the town so that open space for play or rest is nowhere more than a few feet away from one's door- step—these,” says the report, “and other motor-age innovations amount to & new conception in town building.” Residential Subdivision. This “motor-age” town is described as “not an old town with new improved ,” nor a residential subdivision. “Its entire plan is new,” continues the report, “and provides for complete self- contained community accommodation for a fixed prospective population.” The foundation points out that city plans have secured a definite legal status through recent statutory enact- ments in several States, as a result of which planning commissions now have @& wider control of city and town de- velopment and “can forecast what im- gcvemenm should be made and how tie Osaka, Japan, is to have a new rapid- transit system.

Radburn, N. J., 1s cited as an example of this “adapta- tion of modern means to modern needs.” Tt is too soon, according to the found- ation, to “rate the social or financial success of this new type of suburban town, but their plans and purposes have already won international attention.” People Appreciate Plan. “Apparently the people appreciate this unllque opportun‘l:’yl forthufe ln:i agreeable living,” continues the report. “We are informed that of ‘the 75 one-family houses built in Radburn in 1920, 142 have been sold. All of the two-family houses built to be rented and occupled. The spartment hotise up, finished in the late Fall of 1929, 1'1:: 92 suites ranging from two to five rooms, of which 75 are already rented. “New model towns of this type offer & promising method of thinning out the overcrowded metropolitan centers. The unincorporated territory just outside the city’s limit, once almost ‘no man's land,’ has become the city’s last chance for distinctive planning whether for such made-to-order towns, industrial villages, for traffic approaches, park- ‘ways or wild forest reservations. Ideally, there should be local plans for the little city, metropolitan plans for the bigger city, county plans for the rest of -the county’s area and the utmost co-opera- tion among all planning agencies. Plan Given Legal Status. “The past year has also furnished strong evidence that planning has be- come a less feverish and spasmodic fmpulse and more a definite part of municipal administrative programs. Colorado and North Daktoa, following the earlier example of New York and California, have passed laws which give a legal status to an official plan ted by a local government by rec- g the need of a master plan as & guide in the city’s development and 80 establishing the local planning S .

There ‘was always a faction to point out the enormous bulk outlay necessary for car- rying out the recommendation. Now an essential part of all plan reports is & financial program for the execution of major improvements.
