ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the process of piecemeal social engineering. The authors argue that planners must be more modest in their efforts to carry out social and physical change; utopian planning strategies are not workable or realistic. A collection of seminary communities is used as the vehicle for this analysis. The issues and problems encountered by these communities and the recommended social and physical changes are explained. One particular concept for shared studying facilities, the study set, together with its logic, consequences and supporting evidence is examined in detail.
