Berson Instructor in Industrial Management, Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn Values have been defined as "conceptions of the desirable, influencing behavior." This article places the value issue into the context of city planning. An argument supporting the connection between values and city planning as a behavioral output is set forth and a study in progress seeking to quantify the relationship is described. The basis of the values test is found in Spranger, Eduard. Types of Men. Trans. Paul J. W. Pigors. Max Niemeyer Verlag, Halle, 1928. Spranger discusses the value dimensions in detail. The test we are using is the popular Allport, Vernon, Lindzey "Study of Values," Third Edition, 1960.
