Accession Number: 01837375
Record Type: Monograph
Abstract: The proceedings of the National Institute entitled "Junkyards, Geraniums and Jurisprudence: Aesthetics and. the Law, " have been published and bound copies are now available. This National Institute was sponsored by the American Bar Association's Section of Local Government Law, in cooperation with the Highway Research Board, .American Society of Planning Officials, and the Conservation Foundation. It was held in Chicago in June 1967. The purpose of this National Institute was to focus upon the legal and related problems arising from the Nation's growing concern with the public's right to beauty as it may conflict with private rights and property. Unprecedented national interest has emerged in the field of aesthetics. This has involved all levels of government; a proliferation of public activities ranging from open space, highways, parks, downtown malls, and many others; and an amazing interest among many private groups, individuals, industry and business, garden clubs, roadside councils, women's groups and many others. Local, state, and Federal government programs have been authorized and funded, to encourage, demonstrate, and effectuate the application of aesthetic and beautification concepts. Special conferences, beginning with the White House Conference on Natural Beauty, at all levels of government, and involving many groups have been held during the past several years. Few of these have emphasized the legal elements of aesthetics. Thus, the Local Government Law Section of the .American Bar Association was motivated to formulate a National Institute addressed to the legal aspects, with some of the Nation's top legal specialists in this field as faculty. The papers, in full, have been reproduced in the proceedings, and are available from ABA Headquarters in Chicago. This circular presents summaries of some of the papers.
