Abstract
During the last decade there has been a growing public awareness in many countries that the world is one place with finite limits, and that any discoveries of new lands must be made in space. The possibilities of colonizing other planets do not seem to be very great at the present time, so it is, therefore, necessary to take stock of the physical resources of the one we all live in for the benefit of all its inhabitants in the future.
The word planning is used in its original sense of preparing plans of the physical environment.
