" 4‘ . Planning Institute Will Use Campus Resources The institute, based in the arts faculty, will involve in its work members from many departments - urban and rural planners and geographers from the department of geography and planning, eco- nomists, sociologists, political scientists, psychologists and even philosophers. The institute can also draw on other resources of the university - architects, biolo- gists, engineers and the comput- ing centre. "In fact," states Prof. Gertler, "we are the only institute in On- tario operating in precisely this field with comparable resources at our disposal." The availability of these exten- sive resources have already brought the institute two major projects: (1) a four-county study for the provincial government in of geography and planning as director of its planning and re- sources institute. He succeeds Prof. Anton de Vas who is on leave-oi-absence conducting wild- life research in Kenya, Africa. The University of Waterloo has announced the election of Prof. L. o. Gertltr of the department Prof. Gertler, who came to the university a year ago, first train- ed as an economist and switched to planning after obtaining his master‘s degree from the Univer. isity of Toronto in 1950. He at- tended the school of physical planning at McGill and has since held a number at important planning posts including: director of planning, Edmonton district planning commission; d e p u t y commissioner of planning, city of Tttrortto planning board and direc- tor of planning, acres research and planning limited. The planning and resource instr tute, set up by the university within the past year, is designed to conduct research, do broadly based planning, draw up stand- ards for more specialized plan- ning agencies and operate train- ing programs and planning sem- inars. He has published many papers on regional planning and is a former editor of "PLAN, Can- ada," journal of the Town Plan.. ning Institute of Canada. He was also research coordinator Ttrr re- gional development for the re- sources for tomorrow conference in Ottawa, in 1960 and 1961. director of the planning and re- search institute at the Univer- sity at Waterloo. No Delays Planned X-way Construction Waterloo sent its letter when it learned of an inter-office memo from the London to the Hamilton district office. That memo recommended a general slow-down of KM! ex- pressway expenditures and a one- year completion delay tor the western link to Fischer Drive and the Frederick Street to Bridgeport Road section. There will be no slow-down of K-W Expressway construction ac- cording to George Gomme, pro- vincial highways minister. In a letter to Waterloo council, Mr. Gomme said no delays or changes in construction scho- dulos arc being contemplated by the highways department. If delays should be contemplate ed, Kitchener and Waterloo would he invited to discuss them, he added. The letter came in answer to a Waterloo letter strongly objecting to any construction delay. Prof. Gertler has many imagin- ative and ambitious plans and hopes for the Institute. He be.. lieves that there are many needs for its services at the present time. "This job has now been as- signed to us. Working with the regional development branch of the department of economics and development and the council of the mid-western Ontario develop- ment association (MODA), we are conducting a pilot project through which we hope to work out stand- ards which can be applied in other regions od the province. Thus the institute will play a key role in coordinating the future development of the entire pro- Vince." "The four-county study is an excellent example of the things the Institute is able - and anxi. ous - to do," says Prof. Gertler. "We do not seek to duplicate the work of private planning consult- ants, instead, we want to do re- search into basic questions which cannot be dealt with by private groups." mid-western Ontario, setting out the research requirements for a entire area and (2) a study at regional development plan for the the development of "corridor urban systems" since 1940 be- tween Toronto and Stratford. The former study is well under way and should be completed by next April; the latter, which commen- ced this summer, is under the direction od Prof. L. ll. Russ- wurm. "In connection with the four- county study," Prof Gertler ex- plains, "the province has decided to support work leading to re- gional development plans for each of the 10 economic regions of On- tanio. The institute Suggested that some standard framework be de- veloped for all 10 studies so that results would be comparable and so that, eventually, individual de- velopment plans could be assem- bled into an overall provincial pattern.
