A monthly series on current questions in architecture and town planning
The Landscape of the Big Street
New thoughts on urban regions in the United States by Christopher Tunnard
In certain areas of the U.S.A. all distinctions between town, suburb, and country are becoming blurred. For the past year a team of economists, sociologists, and town planners from Yale University, headed by Christopher Tunnard, has been carrying out an investigation into the problems of the largest of these-the six-hundred-mile stretch of the Atlantic seaboard from Maine to Virginia. Its aim is to obtain the data for new forms of city and regional planning.
