Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor of Atlanta

Dear Mayor Allen:
As you may know, an interim report on the experiences of Atlanta,
Dayton, and Seattle during the planning period has been prepared by
Marshall Kaplan, Gans, and Kahn and has been distributed to all model
cities.
The report, A History and Analysis of the Planning Process in Three
Cities, is useful to both first and second round cities. AIl cities
should benefit by a better understanding of the difficulties faced
during the planning process and your city's solutions for those
difficulties. The findings of the study of the planning process
indicate that different cities can find satisfactory though different
solutions to similar problems. This ability of cities to develop
answers suited to local situations is a basic goal of the Model Cities
program.
I am pleased that Atlanta is included in this report because you have
shown that a competent city and its dedicated people can accomplish
significant achievements through cooperation and with hard work. It
is my understanding that Marshall Kaplan and Mr. John C. Johnson
have reviewed the text's discussion of Atlanta, and that Mr. Johnson
has agreed that it is an accurate description of your planning
experience.
The generous efforts of you and your staff are greatly appreciated.
Thank you again for your assistance.
Sincerely yours,
dul.
Director
