Field tests show that most water distribution systems have old and inadequately sized pipes with considerably reduced capacities, resulting in low pressures and marginal fire-fighting capabilities. Water sources, both surface and ground water, are generally available, but water-handling facilities have to be properly planned and constructed to convey the water to the demand centers. Water demand will increase exponentially as population grows and standard of living and opportunity increases. Quantifiable economic benefits exceed the known costs of the water supply projects. The recommended plan may be implemented through well-defined construction stages, which are financially viable if water rates are set on the basis of the consumers' ability to pay. As a result of these feasibility studies, water supply projects are now being provided much needed foreign exchange by international loaning agencies.

A single general equation useful in estimating the residential development potential has been developed. The method relates the road capacity to the residential development. The variables in the road capacity include the percentage of travel during the peak period by both auto and transit, the efficiency of this travel, and the relative effectiveness of each mode. The methodology developed includes a representation of the interaction of the variables used in the estimating equation and the degree of control various agencies exercise over them. The methodology was applied to downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. The results indicate that some of the proposals for residential development in the downtown area may in fact be high.

Vegetation in or near urban settlements has esthetic, economical, and hygienic value. Vegetation, if located optimally, is known to provide a considerable amount of protection against industrial as well as other particulate pollutants by the process of filtration. The capacity of vegetation to clean the atmosphere of its gaseous pollutants is controversial and needs further substantiation through meaningful research.

Planners have recently shown interest in urban games as tools for evaluating alternative land use and development strategies. Urban development, characterized by conflicting interests seeking social, political and financial gain, can be simulated with a game. Players assume roles as public officials, administrators, developers and citizens. They act out public and private decisions, developing land, improving public works, and holding elections. Educators have developed several games as teaching devices. They use them in university programs, short courses, and seminars. Evidence indicates the action of the game enhances learning. Even those untrained in analytical methods quickly grasp planning principles. Because of the apparent educational efficiency of games, prospects linking them with models used to simulate urban development, emerge. Having citizens play urban games would enable planners to gage public sentiment; also through greater understanding, citizens might gain more confidence in the planning process

Techniques developed by the writer in the preliminary planning for a new town on a 5,000-acre penal farm site at the edge of Memphis, TN, are described. The unusual opportunities presented by public ownership and prime location are stressed. As an aid in keeping track of the many possible choices to be made in the planning process, a series of four matrices were devised. It is expected that a large number of reasonable land use plan concepts will be prepared and evaluated to determine which concepts best reflect the community goals and objectives established for the project. The selection and arrangement of land uses on the various concepts will also be compared. A goal matrix, a land use evaluation matrix, and design evaluation matrix are proposed to aid in the process. A land disposition matrix is to be used in the evaluation of various ways to make the land available to developers. Management of the project is to be accomplished with the aid of the Critical Path Method.

Designers of comprehensive storm drainage networks must consider all storm water flow tributary to watershed areas. The presence of governmental boundary lines which do not coincide with these watersheds introduces complicating factors to such designs. Cooperation between engineers responsible for planning in these jurisdictions can produce a unified design result for entire drainage networks. The Kansas City metropolitan area achieves such cooperation by adopting unified design standards produced by local engineers. These standards include accepted criteria for all phases of storm drainage problem analysis and plan preparation. Results of the use of these criteria by agencies throughout the metropolitan area include uniform designs, stage construction of drainage networks, and a more comprehensive understanding by local officials of mutual problem solutions.

The public is demanding not only clean air, pure water and an unpolluted land, but also freedom from excessive noise, adequate recreation facilities, and housing and residential communities that provide comfort and privacy. However the usual planning is limited to its scope—land use, a water system, transportation. Some examples of the effects this type of planning and the prevention of problems cause are given. It is emphasized that more engineering thinking must go into comprehensive community planning and more comprehensive planning thought must go into specific engineering studies. The health department responsibility for issuance of permits and approval of operational results to protect the public health requires that the public does not inherit conditions which are impossible or very costly to correct.
