The computer as an aid to design: the Nordisk story

Modernisation! That's the thing. New cities, new houses, new factories, new schools, new roads, new ways of doing things: all these are implied by the term modernisation. But above all else modernisation implies new ways of deploying our resources, material and human. Nowhere is this illustrated more graphically than in the modern way in which new roads are planned. Planning and building a motorway is one of the most complex activities of the modern industrial society: it brings together such diverse specialists as town planners, surveyors, lawyers, engineers, politicians and a whole host of highly skilled people of all sorts.
