Municipal and Regional Planning, Housing, and Urban Renewal in Greater Stockholm
The Kingdom of Sweden is the largest of the Scandinavian countries, with a sparsely distributed population of 8.5 million inhabitants. Stockholm, which was founded in 1252 and became Sweden's capital and administrative centre in 1523, has 670,000 inhabitants in the city itself and about 830,000 in the metropolitan area. Built on 14 islands linked together by 50 or so bridges and situated between the fresh water of Lake Mälaren and the salt water …
China's Urbanisation Under Communist Rule, 1949–1982
China has had a long and varied urban history dating back more than 2000 years. Throughout the imperial period (221 BC‐1911 AD), the Chinese dynasties established administrative centres throughout their empire and domestic trade flourished, especially in China's major river basins. As a result, cities of different sizes were exceptionally evenly distributed across the country and most of its citizens were influenced by some kind of urban centre. …
Urban Housing Crisis
Virtually all developing countries, irrespective of size and level of industrialisation, are experiencing rapid urbanisation as limited land for cultivation and growing agricultural populations continue to expel families from agricultural regions into cities and large metropolitan areas. By the year 2000, the urban population of the world is expected to grow by 1,400 million, but 1,100 million of that increase will occur in Africa as the urban po…

The Impact of Rapid Population Growth, Expanding Urbanisation, and Other Factors on Development in Sub‐saharan Africa: The Contrasting Responses of Tanzania and Kenya
When the nations of Sub‐Saharan Africa won independence some twenty years ago, they faced formidable constraints on development which continue to impede their economic and social progress, despite considerable interim achievements. This article discusses five of these constraints‐internal factors based largely on historical circumstances and the physical environment: (1) underdeveloped human resources; (2) military and political conflict; (3) the…
The Relationship between Selected Household Characteristics and Housing in the United States
This article examines the influence of changes in American households (i.e., the phenomenal increase in single-parent families and one-person households, race/ethnicity, household income, family size and structure) on the housing market. Survey research data indicate that many families with children, especially large minority and female-headed families which are disproportionately represented among the poor, suffer severe housing problems. After …
An Examination of Public Housing in the United States after Forty Years
This article first briefly reviews the history of public housing in the United States since its inception in 1937, noting that growing obsolescence of public housing units, the deterioration of inner-city neighborhoods surrounding public housing projects, racial tensions, and inflation have aggravated public housing problems in recent years. Moreover, public housing tenants are no longer predominantly white, upwardly-mobile, two-parent, working-c…
Strategies for Crime Reduction in Public Housing
Many recent studies have revealed that not only are residents of public housing the most vulnerable segment of the American population in terms of criminal victimization, but that even in projects where the actual incidence of crime is not high, a great fear of crime prevails, especially among the elderly tenants. There is general consensus among crime prevention experts that crime reduction programs in public housing must utilize an integrated s…
New Hope for Revival of America's Central Cities
During and after World War II and until fairly recent years, most American cities experienced rapid aging and physical decay, resulting in an exodus to the suburbs of their middle-class residents and in the attendant erosion of their tax bases, which made it impossible to cope effectively with a wide range of social problems. At present, however, there is considerable evidence of a rebirth of our central cities, the single most important factor c…
The Relevance of Europe’s New Towns for United States Urban Policy
Since new towns are one of the most striking developments of the last two decades in Europe, increasing numbers of American planners, architects, and urbanologists have been visiting its new towns in search of ideas which may be applicable in the United States, especially since passage of the 1970 Housing Act whereby new towns became an official part of our federal goverment's urban growth policy.In this paper, five new towns are described—Cumber…
