Town-planning in new conditions

Autor analizira uvjete za vođenje zemljišne politike u novom, demokratskom i tržišno orijentiranom društvu te, ističući potrebu da se provedu društvene, gospodarske i zakonodavne reforme, zaključuje: pravni je sustav osnovni uvjet za uspješnost urbanizma; pojam "društveni interes" treba zamijeniti pojmom "javni interes"; privatno vlasništvo građevnog zemljišta nije zapreka djelotvornosti urbanizma; da bi se urbanistički planovi mogli provoditi bez štete za vlasnike zemlje, a ipak u korist javnog interesa, treba uvesti pravni instrument urbane komasacije; za korištenje zemljišta nezaobilazna je parcelacija, a neodrživa "koncesija" (osim izuzetno); regulativnim mjerama urbanističkog plana može se učinkovitije utjecati na zemljišnu politiku nego nacionalizacijom. Autor, nadalje, upozorava na probleme organiziranja urbanističke struke, te ističe učinkovitost privatne prakse, nasuprot velikim zavodima.
