Advanced economic systems have undergone radical transformations in recent decades. Heavy emphasis on manufacturing and other forms of tangible production has given way to rapid growth in activities dealing with the collection and handling of information. Considerable scholarly attention has been given to documenting and analyzing these shifts in different economic sectors, but relatively little notice has been given to the ways that these economic shifts have altered other aspects of modern life. This project will examine the emergence of a relatively new form of urban residential development, the privately planned "new town." The project will focus on new communities established in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area between 1975 and 1990. Changing forms and patterns of investment, construction, and sales related to these new towns will be analyzed through interviews with developers, designers, and planners. Questionnaires also will be used to elicit information about the values, attitudes, and motivations of residents who settle in these communities. This project will provide detailed information about the crucial actors who collectively produced new forms of residential communities in recent decades. It also will generate new insights about the complex ways that private and public leaders interact with one another. Conclusions from this research should generate new insights about the dynamics of modern residential development, and they should provide a valuable new perspective on rapid transformations in American economic behavior. More focused information of direct utility for urban planners also will become available.

近几十年来，先进的经济体系经历了根本性的转变。对制造业和其他形式的有形生产的高度重视已让位于收集和处理信息的活动的迅速增长。学术界对记录和分析不同经济领域的这些转变给予了相当大的关注，但对这些经济转变如何改变现代生活的其他方面的关注相对较少。该项目将考察一种相对较新的城市住宅开发形式--私人规划的“新城”的出现。该项目将侧重于1975年至1990年期间在华盛顿特区大都市区建立的新社区。将通过与开发商、设计师和规划师的访谈，分析与这些新市镇相关的投资、建设和销售的形式和模式的变化。调查问卷还将被用来获取有关在这些社区定居的居民的价值观、态度和动机的信息。该项目将提供有关近几十年来共同创造新形式居住社区的关键行为者的详细信息。它还将对私营部门和公共部门领导人相互作用的复杂方式产生新的见解。这项研究的结论应该会对现代住宅开发的动态产生新的见解，并为美国经济行为的快速转变提供一个有价值的新视角。城市规划者还将获得更有针对性的直接效用信息。
