An assessment of the papers read in this series of seminars dedicated to "Man & His Environment" indicates that all are agreed on the following: a recognition of the ills of the city, its causes, and its effects; the adoption of measures to cure or at least alleviate these ills; the recognition of the need for planning and the procedures and methods of planning; and the urgency of implementing these plans. The ills of the city could not be more vividly portrayed than in the impressively frightening paper of Dr. Escudero. I choose to call this "frightening" because it deals mainly with man, the human being, the individual who as a city dweller is in certain instances subjected not only to discomforts and hardships, but to degradation as well.
