Abstract: This report presents an item-by-item tabulation, for the major components of Urban Analysis, of the uses and limitations of aerial photography. It describes the application of techniques for urban land study in the sequence of inventory, analysis and plan. Its development should provide a guide to city and county administrators and photogrammetric engineers alike in planning surveys based on aerial photography and should encourage the more extensive use of aerial survey methods in day-to-day administration. To determine the applicability of various methods for urban analysis, a small town was selected as a test area in which various problems could be readily isolated and studied over a period of several years. The area selected for testing was the city of Rockville, Md. a typical small town caught up in the rapid suburban expansion of a large metropolitan area.
