Abstract
Article reprint titled New Towns: Shape of Utopia?, Anonymous, originally printed in Newsweek, November 23, 1964. At the time of publication, approximately twenty new towns were being constructed across the country, offering profound changes in community planning; the goal was no longer just urban renewal it is urban "newal." City planners, architects, engineers, realized that a solution to the auto-sclerosis afflicting urb and suburb is to build a planned town from privately supplied scratch, where residents can live, work, and play without having to turn an ignition key. This article examines the roots, varieties, and lifecycle of new towns; case studies of Reston and a few new towns in California; maps and pictures accompany article. Planned Community Archives Collection, 444.04.
