Abstract
THE author of this handbook considers that regional planning is "a real study of growing importance", and that in the training of those who will undertake such planning more studies are involved than engineering and architecture. He shows the relevance of geology, the study of soils and soil surveys, of agriculture and land utilization, and a wide range of other subjects. In the space of little more than 250 pages, he has endeavoured to demonstrate the ways in which a knowledge of these subjects can be applied to problems of regional planning. He has written, generally, for the uninitiated, and has not assumed much preliminary training in any of these subjects.
