"For many years the City of Newark has had an extensive program of planning, redevelopment and public improvements. While the 1947 Master Plan for the City of Newark has served as a useful guide to these programs, the impact of new highway construction, regional economic changes and population movements have created the necessity for a major revision of the 1947 plan.Since the publication of the 1947 plan the Central Planning Board of Newark has prepared numerous studies on various aspects of Newark's future development. Because of the availability of these various studies the Consultant's role was primarily limited to coordination and consolidation of available data into a unified document--the Master Plan for Newark, 1964.Thus, the 1964 Master Plan presented in this report is essentially an up-dating of the earlier plan. In preparing the 1964 Master Plan due recognition was given to the many new programs of urban renewal, Meadowland development and industrial and commercial improvement initiated by the city in the intervening years. In addition, the plan tried to reflect opportunities for new construction made possible by recent highway changes in the city and regional highway development anticipated in the next ten years, Particular emphasis was given to changing neighborhood patterns and their needs fr certain community facilities."
