ABSTRACT
In the nation, the final phase of the progressive movement manifests itself primarily in the conservation of natural resources; in the states it manifests itself primarily in the conservation of human resources by enacting laws to prevent and relieve social and economic distress. The first of the responsibilities which the progressive movement believes that the community in a city should assume, in addition to those which it already bears, is the responsibility for a city plan. There is an impression abroad that city planning includes the correlation and guidance of all city activities and problems, that all agencies that promote the city's welfare, educational, social, and moral, are to be combined in one comprehensive scheme to serve the city's best interests. Closely associated with interurban commerce and terminal facilities as a factor in city planning are the intraurban means of communication and intercourse.
