Guest Host: APA Pennsylvania Chapter
All three Levittowns in U.S. are the prototypical American post-WWII residential development. Do they have anything to teach us after 75 years of existence? This session will explore their impact on suburban development and mixed legacy over the last 8 decades. It will cover Levittown's history (including several riots), its positive and negative planning legacies, and its role as both a model for suburbia and a cautionary tale about car dependency, discrimination and racial intolerance. Levittown remains a living and evolving example of the American suburban landscape.
