The idea of building “New Towns” to absorb growth is frequently considered a cure-all for urban problems It is erroneously assumed that if new residents can be diverted from existing centers, the present urban situation at least will get no worse It is further and equally erroneously assumed that since European New Towns have been financially and socially successful, we can expect the same sorts of results in the United States
Present planning, thinking, and legislation will not produce the kinds of New Town that have been successful abroad It will multiply suburbs or encourage developments in areas where land is cheap and construction profitable rather than where New Towns are genuinely needed Such ill-considered projects not only will fail to relieve pressures on existing cities but will, in fact, tend to weaken those cities further by drawing away high-income citizens and increasing the concentration of low-high-income groups that are unable to provide tax income The remaining taxpayers, accordingly, will face increasing burdens, and industry and commerce will seek escape Unfortunately, this mechanism is already at work in some metropolitan areas
The promoters of New Towns so far in the United States have been developers, builders, and financial institutions The main interest of these promoters is economic gain Furthermore, federal regulations designed to promote the New Town idea not consider social needs as the European New Town plans In fact, our regulations specify virtually all the ingredients of the typical suburban community, with a bit of political rhetoric thrown in
