**“Twentieth Century Land Use Planning: A Stalwart Family Tree”** From //Journal of the American Planning// Association 1995

Edward J. Kaiser and David R Godschalk are both educated males. They are both professors at the University of North Carolina. Main Argument ** Kaiser and Godschalk describe land use planning, past, present and future. Planning grew in the 1950 due to three main reasons. The first was that the government had to contend with postwar surge and population. This caused a need for capital investment. The second is that managers and legislators need to become more interested in planning. And the third, which is the most important, is that section 701 of the Housing Act of 1954 required local governments to adopt a long-range general plan to qualify for federal grants for urban renewal, housing, and other programs. This made money available for comprehensive planning. It led to more urban planning as well. Other ideas in the article ** Using other plans such as the verbal policy plan, land classification plan, and development plan will push planning toward growth management. Comments ** Easy read, but very long and packed with information.
