New-Town Planning and Lifestyles in Three Nations

Department of Political Science University of Pittsburgh

Can the character of urban life and social interaction be decisively shaped by physical and social planning? This paper examines new towns in Britain, the United States, and the USSR, and finds that, although Soviet and western planners seek differing patterns of urban life, even the most comprehensive plans have failed to foster distinctive lifestyles. Assumptions and biases of both planning approaches are analyzed, as are the contribu tions of new-town governance and "admissions policies" to the social outcomes of urban planning.
