| Regional planner, born in Stamford, Connecticut, USA. He studied geography at Harvard and then joined the Forestry Service (1905–17). In 1921 he published his proposal for the Appalachian walking trail from Georgia to Maine. A founder of the Regional Planning Association of America (1923), he undertook studies for planning commissions (1925–45) including the Tennessee Valley Authority. His far-sighted plans to reduce urban congestion and pollution unfortunately were not put into effect. |
