A striking unanimity of opinion as to the desirability of the neighborhood unit plan of development was voiced by bankers, builders, governmental agencies, and civic organizations at the Planned Neighborhood Development Conference held at the New York Chamber of Commerce on March 28th. The Conference was held under the auspices of the Regional Plan Association, in cooperation with the New Jersey Federation of Official Planning Boards, the New York State Federation of Official Planning Boards and the Connecticut Development Commission.
Neighborhood development requires the harmony and coordination of many diverse interests, some of which are purely local and some of which are more far reaching. As in its present stage of development the broader aspects assume major importance the Association sought to obtain the coordination of the broader phases by calling this regional conference.
