Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 projects. I have had the opportunity of observing the financial methods of speculative builders. For the past ten years I have studied the con icting 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?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building the City Students of Christian history have traced the fortunes Of this spiritual fellowship amid the storms and struggles Of its career. The Caesars passed away; but their Imperial tradition survived. After centuries of conflict and confusion Charles the Great was crowned as the theocratic head Of a Holy Roman Empire, and for long generations men lived again under a domina tion in which State and Church were intertwined. Slowly the nations Of modern Europe rose from infancy into manhood, and in the end shook themselves free from feudal and ecclesiastical bondage. To-day, Christianity appears more and more divorced from political rule and authority, and yet persisting as an atmosphere of common thought and feeling and belief which pervades our world.

Finer villages, towns, and cities than any on the map will yet be built in the United States. This does not mean larger. While still keeping close to practical enactments we may yet take the best from other cities in the way of good government.

Those with a living to make, men and women in search of a new home, will be our chosen ones.
