Originally published in 1978. At the time this book was published,
new towns were cropping up as a matter of public policy in
"advanced industrial countries," yet the United States abandoned
this project and deemed new towns "inappropriate and impractical
for the American situation." The purpose of this book is to inform
planners and policy makers around the world about French new towns.
It analyzes what French new towns tried to accomplish; the
administrative, financial, and political reforms needed to secure
implementation of the program; and the achievements of the new
towns. The author's evaluation of French new towns is undertaken
with an eye to international applicability. In the United States,
new towns have been proposed as a means for integrating low-income
families into suburbs that are otherwise closed to them. The French
experience demonstrates that socially heterogeneous new communities
can be developed, even within the framework of a market system, if
a sufficiently high priority is placed on the effort.
