An Introduction

A tremendous volume of public work must
be done in years ahead, merely to catch up
with existing needs. Rehousing of badly.
housed masses of people, reconstruction of
blighted urban areas, constructive solution of
traffic and transportation problems, of high-
way and parking difficulties—these alone are
of such magnitude that many people may be
employed for years before the needs are met.
Provision of recreational and educational
facilities, proper sanitation, reclamation of
soil and rivers, and provision for new or
expanded public services, all represent a large
volume of work needed right now. The
problem is to decide which needs must be
met first and how to plan so that each project
fits reasonably into the pattern of local and
national development. This is the challenge
which faces our public officials and planners
today.
