Book excerpt: Excerpt from Planning for the Future of American Cities, 1935: Proceedings of the Joint Conference on City, Regional, State, and National Planning The first joint conference of all organisations interested in the planning of our Cities, States, Regions, and the Nation was held in the City of Cincinnati during May of 1935. Participating were the American City Planning Institute, the American Society of Planning Officials, the American Civic Association, and the National Conference on City Planning. As a result of action taken at the Conference, the last two organisations have since merged. The desire and intent of the organizers of the American Society of Planning Officials to cooperate with other planning organisations in the interest of better planning were written into the records of the organisation meeting in the following words: "It was the consensus of the meeting that the planning officials present recognized the importance to the planning movement of citizen support for, and public education concerning planning; and that the activities of the organisation of officials should be directed so as not to impede the work of groups such as the National Conference on City Planning, and the American Civic Association. It was suggested that the organisation of officials might well hold its annual meeting jointly with these other groups." The National Conference on City Planning has published the proceedings of the annual planning conferences since 1911. These publications provide a record of planning thought in this country during the past twenty-five years, and trace the advances in planning techniques during that period. Requests have come from many of our members that we continue the record of proceedings. Our book is uniform in size and similar in format to preceding issues of the Conference proceedings. A number of the outstanding papers of this Conference were distributed to its members in mimeographed form by the American Society of Planning Officials the week following the Conference. These published proceedings are therefore being issued to continue the permanent "record." Due to the lateness of this form of publication, the Editing Committee has not returned the comments of the speakers for revision. The Committee hopes that any errors will be overlooked and merely offers as a possible explanation the fact that the record was notable for its omissions.
