CITY PLANNING IS INSURANCE AGAINST WASTE OF PUBLIC FUNDS

City-planning means coordination of the activities that make for the growth of the city, especially the activities of railroad and harbor engineers, landscape architects, street-building and civil engineers, builders of factories, of offices, of public buildings, and dwelling houses. Without this pre-planning coordination, clashes between these different activities, unsatisfactory results and most expensive rearrangements, become unavoidable. City-planning therefore does not mean additional expenditure of money, but it means an INSURANCE AGAINST INEFFICIENT EXPENDITURE of the enormous sums that go—in the regular course of events—into the development of a progressive city. (Hegemann 1915: Preface)
