Excerpt from New Cities for Old: City Building in Terms of Space, Time, and Money
I have served on numerous professional committees on these subjects. I have de signed a number of large public housing projects and about an equal number of privately financed housing proj ects. I have had the opportunity of observing the financial methods of speculative builders. For the past ten years I have studied the conflicting claims of both public and pri vate housers. I was led to undertake a study of urban reconstruction because I became convinced that the question of what to do with slums was merely a part of the question of what to do with cities and that this, in turn, was merely a part of a still broader question: Can we best preserve our system of private enterprise by drifting or by attempting to solve our problems?
