Abstract
THE admirable way in which the evacuation plans have been carried out in the present emergency should not lead us to overlook the importance, when the time comes, for considering the re-planning or further development of our cities on lines designed to minimize such disturbance or upheavals, and the problems which urban concentration presents in civil defence are further reason for attention to this question at the first opportunity. The paper in which Dr. Thomas Adams discussed some economic aspects of urban concentration before Section F (Economics) at the Dundee meeting of the British Association on the very eve of the evacuation could scarcely be surpassed as an analysis of the principles involved.
