Abstract
Efforts to create pre-planned new communities with advanced social goals encounter certain critical dilemmas. These dilemmas stem from the problems of the transition from a company town to a democratic polity, the competition of a suburban satellite with the metropolis, and the securing of a post-industrial “good life” within the limits of present society. The new community of Columbia, Maryland, offers a dynamic laboratory for the study of these social planning issues.Keywords
