Members' 25-Year Reminiscences

Patrick Horsbrugh, AICP

Environic Foundation International Inc.
South Bend, Indiana

My professional activities began in London with a deliberate attack on the inadequacy of the acclaimed 1947 Town and County Planning Act, in the turbulent post-war reconstruction, minimal resources period.

I remain convinced that the rapid change of scale of operation has outpaced professional planning capabilities — hence my environic concepts as basic design — urban, rural, and kinetic, involving the absolute authority of water in its sustenance of biological vitality.

Persevere.
