ABSTRACT
In turning from a broad survey of the relationships between highway, housing, and other capital projects at Droitwich to the more specialized planning context of highway engineering, we shall in this chapter be entering what is sometimes seen to be one of the more technical fields of urban and regional development. However, it is also a field in which the powers and interests of several different levels of government become involved, and is therefore of direct relevance to the theme of this book. This applies especially to the problems of introducing major extensions in existing urban road networks, as in the case of Droitwich.
