Urban Expansion

Postwar residential expansion is a problem for many communities.

There seems to be every likelihood that the postwar period will see a resumption of urban expansion in outlying areas of the Region, similar in general character to that in process in the years preceding the war. Whether or not the rate of expansion will be slower than before the war, it is important for public officials and business men to discover the principal facts of previous development as a guide for the future. What may happen in any one of the 500 municipalities of the Region is so dependent upon what happens in some of the others that a broad picture of regional development is invaluable.
