NEW TOWNS IN U. S. AND EUROPEFran P. HoskenMrs. Hosken, an architect as well as a writer, has done articles for anumber of American magazines and newspapers. she is the authorof rhe Language of cities, published by The Macmiilan co.Perhaps "New Towns" is not theright definition because many ofthe urban developments we areconcerned with here are not selfsufficient.Some are planned toeventually be on their own interms of giving employment tomost of their inhabitants in theirown industrial parks. But otherswill always largely remain bedroomtowns providing housingand a pleasant family life, educationand recreation in a wellplanned environment; while jobs,at least for the head of the household,are sought in the city. Weare not really concerned withdefinitions but with broad solutionsto the universal problem ofhousing for the growing urbanmillions.This summer on a trip acrossEurope and especially throughthe cities of Northern Europe,Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhager,Helsinki, Amsterdam, Glasgow,and London, to mention the highpoints, I tried to get a general, ifby necessity somewhat superficial,impression of what has beenbuilt in the last 20 years or sincethe end of the war.lf one could summarize-somethingthat is not really practicaldue to the great variety of countriesand political systems involved,also war destruction versusplain obsolescence- thiscould be said: In city after city Iwas amazed and at times overwhelmedwith the quantity andalso quality of the new housingand new communities that havebeen built on their periphery.In the US by comparison we notonly have been standing still, butour whole approach indeedthe physical results show it pitifully-is an inadequate, halfheartedattempt at superficiallypretending to pay lip service toas serious a domestic problemas any growing nation must face.Because in the last 20 years,while the US market economyhas had its way in our cities,many European countries haveseriously and at great sacrificeto themselves (the taxes are veryhigh indeed) successfully tackledthe housing, living, education,and health problems for the majorityof their populations.From Oslo this quotation fromMr. Eric Rolfson, the chief cityplanner of Olso (a city of 500,000in a country of four million): "Afterthe war and there wasconsiderable destruction as weresisted the Germans before wewere overrun and occupiedwe considered many importantalternatives how to spend ourlimited resources. We finally decidedthat housing should begiven the first priority because itwas fundamental to the welfareof our own people."But Norway is not alone in thisphilosophy. Certainly the developmentof all kinds of satellitetowns and housing -or whateveryou wish to call it- aroundStockholm is well known. Thedelightful town and shoppingcenters such as Vallingby andFarsta by now are meaningful tomost planners and architects.Here a quotation by Mr. AlbertAronson, the manager of themunicipal housing companySvensky Bostader, which hasplanned and built and now administersthe Vallingby CommunityCentre: "But when will Vallingbybe quite finished? Never!if the underlying idea proves- right and if Vallingby comes upto our greatest expectations. Noliving town will ever be finished.The richer the life at Vallingby,the greater the need of neverceasingdevelopment, enlargementand expansion."The great variety of all differentkinds and types of housing andthe quantity of differently designedcenters, the many kindsof schools and educational facilities,indeed the many new experimentsin ways of living, isseldom discussed. Especiallyaround Stockholm, I was impressedwith their great richnessand variety; indeed it seems thatevery taste could be satisfiedhere and all at prices thatAPFu L .te69 1n

1Aerial view of Vallingby2Vatlingby Centermost people can afford, not justthe upper half as in the US.But of all the new developmentsI saw, those outside Helsinki are,especially from an architectural,quality, and visual point of view,better and more attractive thanany others. Tapiola, only fivemiles outside Helsinki, wasstarted in 1951 and has limitedits population to about 17,000people. By now much of thetown is completed and functioning.While it was built by privateinitiative, and many people owntheir own homes (mainly rowhouses) or cooperative apartments,certainly Tapiola is hardlya speculative real estate developmentin the US sense. Built atvery low density (26 people peracre), it is really a garden city inthe best sense of the word in anatural setting of great beauty,with many lakes amidst slightlyrolling hills, beautiful birches,and tall pine trees.In mid-August, with the sun stillhigh and the days very long inthis northern land, the flowerseverywhere seemed to glow withcolor; the landscaping and plantingof Tapiola is one of its outstandingattractions. The wholeplan as well as the individuallydesigned areas and buildingsseemed to act together to form athoroughly and happy environment.And this at a price thatthe vast majority of young familiescan afford. Nowhere in theUS have I seen- at any price -a more attractive community withsuch a variety of housing built tosuch high qualitative and designstandards and offering to its inhabitantsso much in terms ofpleasant living (from all kinds ofcultural and educational facilities,including a theater and concerthall to all kinds of sports facilities,indoor and outdoor recreation).The equivalent to our publichousing built as new residentialcommunities outside Helsinki oncity owned land is well designedand of excellent quality. Eachcommunity has its own shoppingcenter and is planned completewith schools and transportationfacilities into Helsinki. Pihlajamakiis one of these communitieswith not only a shopping centerbut also an industrial park.In both Stockholm and Oslo newsubway extensions have beenbuilt to connect the principalnew housing areas with the centralcity. This new public transportation-which runs mainlyabove ground outside town- isclean, efficient and run by thegovernment. lt is intended andmaintained as a service to thepeople, rather than trying tomake a profit off their need.In fact, the basic attitude towardshousing in the Scandinaviancountries vastly differs from ours$:IF_rf,:I![*+12 NC'FITH CAFIC'LINA AFICHITECT

To provide a decentplace to live for every citizen isnot an empty slogan (as thatwhich introduces the US 1949Housing Bill) but in fact a seriousresponsibility by the government.Besides supporting housing in alldifferent ways, from financing toactual building, the governmentis also responsible for free healthcare fbr all and free educationand really adequate pensions forthe elderly. For all this specialtaxes are paid, but it also works.There are no slums nor any dilapidatedhousing; I searched forthem. Or what is called a slumcompares favorable to much USmiddle class housing.The one new town which is aimingto achieve an urban characteras opposed to Tapiola's "gardencity" approach is Cumbernauldin Scotland, some 15 milesfrom the city limits of Glasgow.Built to draw people out of theslums of Glasgow (large areas inthe city have been torn down bynow and are being rebuilt), itaims for a population of 70,000and also includes a good sizedindustrial area. The town isbuilt with complete separation oftraffic between pedestrians andcars. Ring roads connect thedifferent "neighborhoods". Thenew shopping and town center isbuilt along a high ridge in themiddle and really serves as centerand visual focus for the wholeAPFu L ,r9Ei9 13

The building is servicedf rom below the main roadgoes under the town center. ltsimaginative design in concretehas many different levels and offersa variety of spaces connectedby stairs and ramps andelevators for shops, restaurants,and business and professionaloffices, a library, the town hall, atechnical college, clubs, etc.Many of the walking areas arecovered, which in the Scottishclimate, is a blessing. There alsois convenience shopping ineach neighborhood.Gumbernauld exemplifies a newapproach to town building interms of denser and more compacturban living. Each neighborhoodin Gumbernauld has itsown character and specific designquality, and thus the townoffers a variety of housing accommodationsand differentkinds of living. There are children'splaygrounds for eachgroup of houses and elementaryschools serving each neighborhood.A large high school is atthe edge of town, and other sitesare reserved for secondary educationas new areas get built. Infact, the schools provided by thecounty are usually built first.The shopping center by now ishalf built, and stores are rapidlymoving into the completedspaces. The hctel was onlyopened this spring, and much remainsto be done. The towncenter alone is expected to bedoubled in size. Yet by now onecan get a feeling of a new qualityof life that has been plannedand designed in these ratheraustere Scottish hills, mainly forfamilies with young children.Somehow one cannot escape thenotion that children brought upin this environment hopefullymight turn out to be very differentpeople with a positive and happyattitude towards life.Of the new towns around London,I visited both Basildon andStevenage, which have been discussedmany times before. Bothare designed for more than 70,-000 people and are by now activethriving communities thathave largely proven what theyset out to do: to provide a sound,pleasant, and satisfying life andgood housing, schools, and recreationfor a majority of peopleof often very modest incomes,certainly very modest by ourstandards. But then they do notneed to spend a quarter of thisIncome on housing but muchless, and health care for thewhole family is entirely free andso are of course schools andmuch of the recreation.Both Basildon and Stevenagehave large pedestrian shoppingcenters surrounded by county14 NC'FITH CAFIC'LINA AFICHITECT

There are also localshopping facilities in each"village", including the obligatoryEnglish pub; these earliertowns are designed much moredispersed than Cumbernauld.One interesting feature is thatmany of the industrial plants, inorder to attract female labor,have found it necessary to provideadditional nurseries and daycare centers for pre-school children.This especially in the newtowns since the average age ofthe inhabitants is relativelyyoung, and they are planned forfamilies with children.What then are the basic differencesbetween these towns andtheir housing discussed and whatis being built in the US?First of all there is a difference inattitude. lt is agreed in most ofthese northern industrial democraciesthat every citizen has theright to a living job and to decenthousing, and right to freehealth care and free education,to social security and adequatesupport when old, as well as supportbetween jobs. The basicdifference between the US andthese countries is that this is regardedas the right of each citizenit would not occur to anyone- to call this charity as it is oftenstill done here. In fact, thepeople are supporting this legislationwith their own money, andthe taxes are very steep indeed.Nor is housing considered a consumerproduct on which to makea maximum profit-as in the US.The actual building of the housingis organized in different ways,depending on the country, buteverywhere there is a wide varietyof choices, f rom singlehouses to large apartmentblocks. There is private ownership,cooperatives, as well as

government financed rental housingwhere rents are adjusted tothe income of the inhabitants.But everywhere the governmenttakes part in the financing andsometimes also construction andupkeep.The other basic difference, whichindeed is crucial and which theUS cities lack: Stockholm, as wellas Oslo and Helsinki, own theland surrounding them. The landdevelopment legislation in GreatBritain is well known. Withoutthis control it would be impossibleto build these new towns orindeed to plan any rational developmentfor the benefit anduse of the majority of the peoPle(rather than in the US for thespeculative gain of a few). Thereare no suburbs which follow theirown destiny ignoring the citY.The new communities plannedby the cities on their own landprovide new and better livingconditions and housing, whilesome of the worst old sections inthe cities are being torn downand rebuilt. Schools, shoppingcenters, health facilities, recreationand industrial parks areplanned as integral parts of thenew towns. Traffic is organizedfor maximum safety for children,and frequently pedestrians moveentirely separated from cars.By contrast, the one thing that isentirely absent from all the developmentsI saw near the citiesis the cheap and ugly commercialdevelopment that accompaniesall roads out of town in theUS, from used car lots to gas stations,doughnut and ice creamparlors, motels of every kind,cheap stores and eateries, allfestooned with umpteen signsoutdoing each other by attentionseeking, blaring vulgarity. Thissimply is not tolerated by plannersor by the public, a factwhich is no loss to the enterprisesinvolved because no oneengages in this kind of showoffsport. All development isplanned, and commercial developmentis designated to certainareas. In England, green beltssurround all new towns near London,and there are definiteplanned city limits. The commercialreal estate speculator isnot permitted for his own Profitto ruin the view for the motoristor spoil the attractive environmentfor the use of people.By comparison with these peopleand government supported efforts,we have done painfully littlein the US for the average US citizenand nothing at all for the bottomthird of the country, some40-50 million people, many morein fact than all the populationscombined of all the Scandinaviancountries. What we havebuilt in terms of new communitiesis available only due tocost to the middle and -mostlyupper- middle class.The most attractive planned newdevelopment in the US that canbe called a town is Reston in Virginia,some 30 miles outside ofWashington and near the newDulles Airport. The others thatshould be mentioned here areGolumbia, Maryland (betweenBaltimore and Washington), andlrvine Ranch in Orange County,south of Los Angeles.Reston's town center is just 18miles from the White House.On the edge of Lake Anne (whichis used for swimming and boating)and punctuated by a highriseapartment building, the towncenter is reserved for pedestrians.With shops, restaurants,and community facilities, it presentsa gay and lively picture tothe visitor. In terms of housingand recreation and just plain attractiveliving, Reston certainlyis tops. But it is evident that atthe prices this handsome, privatelydeveloped communitymust charge to those who wantto live there, not even many employedin the shops of the towncan afford to rent, let alone buyaccommodations. Therefore inReston as obviously also withboth the-other communities mentioned,as well as all suburbandevelopments everywhere in theUS price simply excludesmore than half, if not two-thirds,of the population.In Reston, which is well ahead indevelopment of the other twoAPFu L {s6e 17

towns mentioned, the visual aswell as human results in terms ofbetter living are quite evident.But it would simply confuse theissue to assume that communitiescatering to this kind of market could make the slightest differenceto the problems whichplague our cities. True, Columbiahas been planned with thegreatest of care and forethought.In the words of its idealistic andenthusiastic developer, JamesW. Rouse, "to grow better people,more creative, more productive,more inspired, and more lovingpeople". But these new townscannot possibly under prevailingfinancing and building methodsand without massive governmentsupport provide housing forthe people who need it most (ormore than one-third of the USpopulation).lrvine Ranch, in turn, is beingbuilt around a new campus of theUniversity of California, whichprovides a real focus and towncenter, far more interesting, challenging,and dynamic than thecustomary central shopping andadministrative facilities. Yet lrvineRanch in every other way isbeing developed by individualreal estate entrepreneurs whobuy different tracts of land onwhich they build most any kindof housing they can sell.But one thing has never beenmentioned: Even the most idealisticdeveloper cannot controlthe community he may mostcarefully plan and build after hehas sold the housing and afterthe shopping centers becomelargely the property of businessundertakings. At the moment ofthe sale he loses control, and thenew owner takes over to do ashe pleases, which may includechanging the original plans.Houses and land costs can beincreased, and uses altered.There is no assurance that evenopen space will remain open underheavy business pressure (despitezoning regulations), as hasbeen shown unfortunately in thepast. The reason is that we lackall legislation to date to protectthe land. The notion still prevailsthat land and housing is acommodity to be bought and soldin the open market for privateprofit. Even city redevelopmentagencies who are authorized toacquire land by eminent domainsell it back again at greatly reducedprices (the difference ispaid by the government, ie, fromtaxes) to private real estate firmsfor development to be sure-with some stipulations for someyears ahead. But to this criticthis seems far too limited control.The US myth that citiescannot acquire and own land becausethis is contrary to the conceptsof a free democratic societyin the light of actual experienceis patently absurd.However, as long as this mythprevails and in the absence ofany real planning legislation, wecannot hope to make any progresstowards better housing, bettercities, and a more equitableway of life.The housing and urban developmenthere discussed, all in democraticcountries, should serveas an example of what can bedone even with limited resourcesgiven the right priorities. Underour present system of development,we have, mainly by neglect,created the urban problemswhich now are threatening thelife of and in the cities. Our affluencemeans litile if it cannotprovide the basic necessities oflife food, clothing, and shelterfor all -our people. To this havebeen added in the European industrialdemocracies the right toa job and free medical care andeducation for all. Certainly theurban problems which beset oursociety today are past the stageof superficial remedies. To tacklethose requires a fundamentalchange of attitudes and the willto really create in practice an environmentfor a way of life putdown on paper by our forefathersas the ideal American way.This quotation from the speechof the eminent economist andsocial scientist Gunnar Myrdalat the annual convention ofAmericans for Democratic Actionin Washington, D. C., thispast Ap ril :"At this point it is my duty to putin a reminder that the Americanmansion is a heavily mortgagedpiece of real estate. lt has toinvest trillions of dollars withinthe near future to rebuild completelyits cities, and, equally important,to rehabllitate the humancontent of the slums. As we allmust be aware, this is an urgentnecessity. The situation is continuallydeteriorating. Not toembark upon these huge investmentssoon, entails dangers forthe cohesion of the American societyand the stability of democracy."Reprinted with permission from Architecture'"'i:i::::l'"1s

Aldo Cardelli, AIAN. C. ARCHITECT TO RECEIVENATIONAL AIA AWARDAldo Cardelli, AlA, of New Bern, and four otherItalian architects will be honored by the AmericanInstitute of Architects for their moving monumentto a savage event the World War ll Fosse Ardeatine-massacre,As ltaly welcomed the advancing Allied liberatorsin 1944, the Roman underground killed 33 marchingNazi Storm Troopers with a hurled bomb.The German command, on Marcn 22, herded 330Romans some of them boys and some innocentparties picked-off the street into an abandoned-quarry and shot them. With dynamite, the Nazissealed the tomb. But, a shepherd discovered thehiding place of the victims' skeletons.One of the first design competitions in post-warItaly was for a fitting memorial to the reprisal victims.In 1950, the unique mausoleum by architectsNello Aprile, Gino Calcaprina, Aldo Cardelli, AlA,Mario Fiorentino, and Giuseppe Perugini was completed.Sculptors were Francesco Coccia andMirko Basaldella.Located off the historic Via Ardeatine in an area-of ancient Roman burials the memorial was designedto leave the scene of the murders-intact.A concrete slab which appears to float on air-but is supported by three columns rides over-the 330 tombs, covered with granite from the Dolomites.Outside the tomb, bronze gates, designedby M. Basaldella, have lines suggesting barbedwire and bones. "The combination of caves andthe graves . . . gives an imaginative and dramaticcomposition," said the AIA Institute Honors Committee,which recommended the Henry Bacon Medalfor Memorial Architecture.The medal wilt be presented at the AIA Convention24 NoFrrH cAFrctLtNA AncHlrEcrin Chicago, June 23, as part of the Institute'sawards program.Aprile, Fiorentino, and Perugini still practice inRome.
