Summary "Carrying Out the City Plan: The Practical Application of American Law in the Execution of City Plans" by Flavel Shurtleff is a detailed examination of the legal frameworks surrounding urban planning in the United States, likely written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the complexities and variances in laws regarding land acquisition for public purposes, exploring the implications for municipalities and their growth. The work aims to analyze and illuminate best practices in the context of city planning and the legal mechanisms that underpin them. The opening of this publication sets the stage by highlighting the significant discrepancies in the legal methods used across different regions in the U.S. to acquire land for vital public projects like parks and streets. The author, drawing on his experience as a landscape architect, emphasizes the need for a more cohesive understanding of these laws to facilitate urban development. Furthermore, it mentions a collaboration with Frederick Law Olmsted, further underscoring the importance of expertly-designed municipal improvements to enhance community living. The text not only serves as an informative guide but also points towards the necessity for progressive legal reforms in the pursuit of effective city planning.
