Abstract
THE central problem of the planned society is, as Prof. H. J. Laski has pointed out, to make the issues at stake intelligible and to bring out in individuals the interest that compels action; in "Planning Our Country", J. F. Adburgham and Elizabeth Halton well maintain the standard set by earlier pamphlets in this "Unless We Plan Now" Series (English Univ. Press, Ltd. 4d. net). The main aspects of the problems involved in town and country planning are simply but adequately explained and in a way which should conduce to discussion. There is a short but adequate bibliography, and the pamphlet should fulfil its avowed purpose of bringing home to the ordinary citizen the exact meaning of planning and of how much depends on his contribution and interest if effect is to be given to such proposals as are to be found in the Barlow, Uthwatt and Scott reports.
