Abstract
THE development of geographical thought over the past half-century has been marked by the emergence of a logical pattern of cause and effect and by the demonstration of the influence of environmental factors on human life. Prof. L. Dudley Stamp points out in his presidential address to Section E (Geography), that the stage has now been reached when geographical methods of survey and analysis, and further, of synthesis, can be and should be applied and used so as to assist in the solution of the great social problems of the world to-day. In particular, in the field of land-use planning, there is considerable, justification for the assertion that geography is the science of which land planning is the art.
