A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The study describes the job of the city planner in developing countries. It does this by examining a single case, the planning of Ciudad Guayana, a city being built in Venezuela, and it looks at this city planning endeavor from two points of view. It examines this still on-going enterprise from the standpoint of urban planning technique - how does the urban planner in such a setting do his work. - and in addition, it tries to suggest something of the functions which such an urban planning enterprise may have in a developing country. For while certain features of the case described are characteristic only of Venezuela, or of the problems of new cities, many of the problems confronted and techniques used are relevant to urban, regional and national programs throughout the world.
