From the Paper:

"Recreating Urban Environments through Urban Planning Because the rapid growth and expansion of cities in the twentieth century appears to have gone unchecked, modern urban centers are plagued by a variety of social problems. In contemplating ways to recreate urban environments as viable and sustainable places for decent living, recreation, and creativity, it is evident that many of these social problems can be reduced and even eliminated through effective urban planning policies. Transforming blighted, sprawling urban areas into vibrant, thriving communities would entail significant short-term costs, but it is undeniable that the chronic social problems caused by uncontrolled urbanization in the United States have required municipal, state, and federal government officials to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in attempts to resolve these problems."
