ABSTRACT
No study of the place of industry in town planning would be complete without some consideration of the men and women who work in the factories and the industrialists and planners who direct them. There are many sets of relationships to be considered: management to labour and labour to management, and both to the outside world; and so on. It is important therefore that the planner should know the kind of man he has to deal with. Industries vary from each other in the opportunities they offer, which to a considerable extent governs the ability they can command. Thus industries such as sugar refining, cement manufacture and paper making which are concentrated in a comparatively few large and highly mechanized factories will tend to be led by a higher type of intelligence than the average. Industries vary also in their past history. Some have used the same factories and virtually the same processes for generations.
