Abstract
WHILE it is recognized that without some measure of central direction and regional guidance there can be no re-planning and reconstruction of our towns or countryside which will ensure the best use of the nation's reserves of land, the right balance between industry and agriculture, between work and leisure, that is, the best from the point of view of social and cultural as well as material needs, it is in the application of the planning principles and policy to particular local problems that the individual citizen is most interested. Those are the consequences that are likely to provoke his most speedy reaction, and his support of, or opposition to, any Ministry of Planning. He will judge of its value by the results that he can see in the district most familiar to him.
