Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Fifteenth National Conference on City Planning: Baltimore, Maryland, April 30, May 1-2, 1923 A farming village can be complete in itself. Within its political limits it can have nearly everything necessary for the complete functioning of its community life. The people who use the stores and industries in the center can often be supported by the surrounding farming belt, all within the limits of the municipality. However, as the village grows to a town and the town grows to a city rarely are the corporate limits of the municipality expanded to the point where they include the whole surrounding contributory area. As a rule, the larger the community grows, the greater the area outside the city limits which supports and is dependent upon the municipality at the hub. Controlled as it is by our state laws, the planning of cities and towns has been confined so far to their often arbitrary corporate limits, regardless of the fact that the metropolitan area as an economic unit bears little relation to these limits. Therefore the logical next step in city and town planning is to find a way of controlling and directing the development of the whole contributory region in the common interest of all living within it. Study of this subject has hi ought us to the following general conclusions: 1. The character and direction of growth of contributory areas beyond the city limits should be controlled by a Metropolitan or Regional Planning Commission, or where such areas lie entirely within a county by a County Planning Commission. 2. Such a Commission should include official delegates from each municipality affected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
