A town planning lecture by Patrick Geddes. Reprint from The Modern Review.

Bundle of 9 files, containing 189 ff. Contains a range of photographic prints, plans and illustrations which were commissioned or drawn by Patrick Geddes during his survey of Dunfermline or included in the 1904 report 'City Development: a study of parks, gardens and culture-institutes' which was commissioned by the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust. Geddes' proposals were never adopted by the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust but the report is considered to be one of Geddes' most influential early urban planning works.

Geddes commissioned Norval to visually document Dunfermline in its entirety as part of his survey of the town on behalf of the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust. The images were used to inform his report 'City Development: A study of parks, gardens and culture-institutes' (1904). This file of images do not appear in the final report.
