The article presents information on housing planning in the U.S. In characteristic fashion U.S. President Herbert Clark Hoover recently summoned housing experts from all over the country to Washington for a four-day Conference on Home Building and Home Ownership. No fewer than thirty-two committees had been at work for nearly a year gathering data on all aspects of the housing question. They represented all the multifarious interests of modern housing enterprise, from realtors to makers of air-conditioning apparatus. As a whole, the conference seemed to release a spirit of protest that had been gathering for decades over the abominable conditions of housing and home building in the U.S.
