This collection contains the papers of C. David Loeks, a city planner who served as St. Paul city planning director (1952-1957), Twin Cities Metropolitan Planning Commission executive director (1957-1966), Mid-Hudson Pattern for Progress chief executive officer (1966-1980), and Virginia Tech professor of urban and regional planning (1980-1988). The collection consists largely of working papers, reports and publications generated by the various planning agencies in which Loeks served but also contains studies and drawings completed by Loeks for college coursework, texts and background materials from Loeks' speeches, and materials from a few of the courses taught by Loeks at Virginia Tech.
