Definición

  • Begun in 1935 through the New Deal's Resettlement Administration (RA), Greenbelt towns were designed to offer alternative suburban environments for working-class families residing in America's deteriorating and congested inner cities. Headed by Undersecretary of Agriculture Rexford G. Tugwell, a Columbia professor of economics and social reformer, the RA operated the program with the goals of providing construction jobs for unemployed workers, demonstrating more appropriate design guidelines to create a better quality of life, and incorporating a social component realized in part through cooperative ventures.
