"In 1935 the United States government embarked on a New Deal program to construct new suburban towns for the working class. Under the direction of the Resettlement Administration, teams of architects, engineers, and city planners, along with thousands of workers, brought three such communities to life: Greenbelt, Maryland; Greendale, Wisconsin; and Greenhills, Ohio. Designers, planners, and other experts brought their own ideas and goals into the project. We can see now, in hindsight, that the program was virtually doomed to fail from the outset. It suffered under the burden of too many competing goals: maximum job creation at minimal cost, exquisite town planning that would provide modest residences for low-income families, progressive innovation that would serve to honor and reinforce traditional American values. In addition to these opposing goals, the Greenbelt project faced the derision of conservative politicians and members of the media who vented their hostility toward FDR and the New Deal. Yet the Greenbelt program succeeded as well, providing new homes in well-planned communities that continue to welcome residents. The towns may represent an unrealistic dream, but they show an imagined way of American life that continues to appeal, that hints at what might have been possible"--

Greenbelt is a planned community built in 1937 as part of Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. One of three green towns established during the Great Depression, the project put struggling Americans to work, provided low-income housing in the Washington, DC, region, and was a bold experiment in town planning and cooperative living. Its first residents enjoyed modern homes, schools, a pool, a library, and a town center complete with cooperative businesses and a movie theater--all within walking distance and in a utopian parklike setting. Despite nearly doubling in size to accommodate World War II-era housing and steady growth through the second half of the 20th century, Greenbelt's original streamlined architecture, ample green space, and innovative design have been preserved and recognized as a National Historic Landmark. After 75 years, the city continues to thrive as it looks towards sustainability and the future.
