Largely as a result of the ton University School of Architecture, Boyce warned against beautifying a city for the sake of beauty alone. Planners are confusing beautification with improvement, he said. "We are trying to make a city more beautiful by removing what is not beautiful and changing the function of the land," Boyce said. "What we should be doing is improving the function of the land." In urban renewal, for example, cities are tearing down tremendous numbers of buildings and changing the function of the land by erecting an entirely different sort of structure, he said.

"In the end," Boyce said, "this may create serious problems. We may find ourselves with a beautiful, sterile city." Boyce urged that planning personnel develop goals which would aim at the maximum community welfare improvement while minimizing total csts of transportation. A plea for scunder methods of land use planning was made last night by Ronald R. Eoyce, research associate on the Mera-mec Basin research project at Washington University. Boyce advocated planning on a broad regional scale and elimination of planning commissions which duplicate the functions of one another.
