Much of the research on which this book is based was funded almost
a decade ago by separate grants from two different agencies of the
U. S. Public Health Service, of the then still consolidated
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The first grant was
from the Bureau of Community Environmental Management (Public
Health Service Research Grant J-RO J EM 0049-02), and the second
from the Center for Studies of Metropolitan Problems of the
National Institute of Mental Health (Public Health Service Grant
ROJ MH 24904-02). These separate grants were necessary because of
budget cuts that truncated our original effort. We were fortunate
to receive subsequent assistance from NIMH to conclude the
research, as it is doubtful that a project of the scope and intent
of our effort--even as completed in abbreviated form-will be funded
in the 1980s. The original intent of this project, as formulated by
our colleagues Ira Robinson and Alan Kreditor, and as
conceptualized earlier by their predeces sors-members of an
advisory committee of planners and social scientists ap pointed by
the American Public Health Association (APHA)-was to rewrite
Planning the Neighborhood, APHA's recommended standards for
residential design. In particular, it was proposed that the new
study take the point of view of the user in terms of residential
standards. Hitherto, the private sector had domi nated these
considerations (i. e., the designer's predilections, the
requirements of builders and material suppliers, and lenders' needs
for mortgage security)."
