Title: TRANSPORTATION AN ESSENTIAL PART OF ANY COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING
Abstract: This article discusses city and regional planning and what is necessary to evaluate the results of such planning. Comprehensive planning is an integral part to city and regional planning. There have been outstanding examples of thoroughly integrated highway and expressway plans with the provisions for development of land use and circulation. A major point of the relationship between highway planning and comprehensive planning to be emphasized is that lines of transportation inevitably, almost irresistibly determine the patterns of land use and activity. Decisions on highway location are in effect decisions affecting future land use, future economic activity, future residential and commuter patterns. Whoever plans the location of a highway is committing to a large extent to the comprehensive plan.
