Association.
We asked Mr. Kingery, the Manager and Secretary
of the Chicago Regional Planning Association
to come down and tell us how'the Chicago Plan
worked and how it was organized. As a result of
that meeting, we have a Greater Kansas City
Regional Plan Association, the details of which
organization are explained in the little pamphlets
that are before you.
Gentlemen, you represent all the civic interests
of Kansas City. You know by the last census that
the greatest growth of this region has been in
its suburban areas. The growth of these areas
ought to be controlled for their own welfare and
benefit, as well as for Kansas City's.
Regional Planning tries to foresee what the future
growth will require. Its interests are in high-
ways, traffic-ways, transportation generally --
air, water, rail, motor; it is also interested
in sanitation and in recreation parks, lakes, and
pleasure drives. With your permission, I am going
to read you a few of the things Regional Planning
does,
"12-12-29
PLANNING-VALUE - OF
Regional planning safeguards the growth of the
community, and assures the effective investment of
its funds. It endeavors to foresee the greatness
of
the
community
that
will
be
several
decades
henee.
It
aims
to
provide
for
the
orderly
economic
develop-
ment of effective and convenient means of transpor--
tation and communication, without the sacfifice
of any of the County's natural assets as a good
place in which to live and work. The welfare of
those who make up the population of this region is
after all the primary objective of all planning,
and it is to the ordinary citizen and home-owner
that the execution of any plan must be entrusted.
The Commission desires therefore to urge upon
everyone concerned in the development of the San
Gabriel Valley the necessity of accepting and pro-
tecting this as his own individual plan, and of
working steadfastly for its accomplishment.
