Text Appearing Before Image:
ecent years, city planningreceived a great impetus as a result of the activity of theBoard ot Commerce, and later ot the Official City Planand Improvement Commission, organized in 1910 byordinance of the City Council. Charles Multord Robinsonsubmitted a report to the Board ot Commerce on CivicImprovement in Detroit over a decade ago, and this wastollowed immediately by a report by Frederick LawOlmsted, which was published in 1905, entitled Improve-ment of the City of Detroit. This report was reprintedin 191 5, and although now ten years old it deserves a mostcaretiil reading by students ot city planning. The greatcivic opportunity, which Mr. Olmsted emphasized in 1905,tor the preservation ot the Detroit watertront and tor abroad handling of the big problem ot city development,is yet unrealized, and the conclusion is borne out in thisinstance in particular that unless cities do seize the oppor-tunities which expert investigations reveal, they stand agreat chance of losing them forever.
