City and regional planning collection
Collection
Call Number: MS 1970
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of reports by city, local, and regional planning agencies spanning approximately from 1873 to 2000. The geographic range of the reports is global, but is focused mainly on Southeastern Connecticut and New Haven, though many smaller towns and cities in Connecticut are also represented. More general reports about the New York region and other states, socioeconomic data about the United States, and scattered documentation about urban planning in other countries are also part of this collection.
Development plans, transportation studies, water resources inventories, park and recreation plans, urban renewal reports, housing market indexes, labor and employment statistics, demographic information, industry and manufacturing data, and planning and zoning reports are included. Of note are a series of reports, “Community Monographs,” produced by the Research Division of the Connecticut Development Commission in Hartford. In some instances, these detailed community profiles were collected over a span of many years, which provides insight to the changes in a city or town’s development over time.
