	R.I.B.A, SUGGESTIONS FOR TOWN PLANNING
		It will, however, be found that comparatively small developments may be far-reaching in their ultimate effects upon the plan of a town; and that desirable future improvements in the central area, though not forming part of the scheme, may be rendered impossible if not provided for in the first instance.
		In planning traffic centres, while the grouping of buildings suitable for other centres would obviously be out of place, it is nevertheless of great importance to maintain a regular relation between the different roads converging on the centre and the facades of the buildings between these roads if a haphazard result is to be avoided.
		In the completed town it is the buildings which are seen and produce whatever effect, good or bad, is attained; therefore, the problem of town planning in its final form is whatever y an architectural problem.

	Urban planning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Urban, city, or town planning is the discipline of land use planning which deals with the physical, social, and economic development of metropolitan regions, municipalities and neighborhoods.
		The basic plan is a central plaza with city services, surrounded by a compact grid of streets and wrapped in a wall for defence.
		While it is rare that cities are planned from scratch, planners are important in managing the growth of cities, applying tools like zoning to manage the uses of land, and growth management to manage the pace of development.

		Town planning and architectural aesthetics are of great interest to conservatives, it seems to me, since they illustrate the dialectical relation between individual freedom and prescriptive right.
		Towns and cities are cultural creations, and represent (the good ones, anyway) some of the values we love and cherish.
		Planning restrictions don’t have to be do’s; more often they are don’ts – what philosophers like Nozick call ‘side-constraints’, which set the boundaries within which you are free to do as you will.
