CITY PLANNING
the Mayor’s apology to criticism by the Canterbury branch of the New Zealand Institute of Architects he takes personal umbrage at the statements made. (These were not inspired even indirectly, though wholly approved by myself.) Rather should he be grateful for practical independent efforts that are now being made to arose the interest of all citizens, and to prepare them for the reception of a comprehensive, long-sighted plan for the city’s future development. I suggest, respectfully, that the Mayor’s implied attitude of “it will all come in time” is just the policy that will land the city with missed opportunities, the second-best, and much costly work to "be undone. Eulogies of our wellmaintained partes and gardens are thoroughly justified, but the 25, 50 and 100-year plan is what is long overdue and now urgently needed.—Yours, etc.. R. S. D. HARMAN. August 27, 1947.
