Excerpt from Proceedings of the Thirteenth Annual Conference on City Planning: Pittsburgh, May 9-11, 1921 It is sometimes argued that the ultimate purpose of city planning is actually social, and that no beginning can be made on a comprehensive plan until the social conditions shall have been carefully examined, and the needs of the district determined - in other words, that a social survey should precede the physical sur vey. That such a survey should closely follow the first physical survey or should be made at the same time is most desirable, even though it would add materially to the expense; it should, at any rate, be made before the details of the plan are worked out. If urged as a preliminary, however, there is danger that it will not appeal to some of those whose interest and support are essential to success, - particularly the responsible city officials. Many to whom an appeal for co - opera tion must be made will not understand just what it means. They will be disposed to label it high brow, if they do not attribute it to a disposition to interfere in functions which they regard as administrative or legislative, and as falling within their own jurisdiction and control.
