American Institute of architects PSA - 1960's?

Genre: public service announcement

Description: "This was the American dream, a place to live in, a community that met our needs. This is what many of us got livable houses, but no place to go. No beauty, no community, just hide taxes and sprawl. Yet America knows how to design for beauty and safety, how to respect the land and let it serve us. How to build village centers where people can meet and enjoy life. We can pass zoning ordinances that permit the building of towns and villages. We can revise government financing programs to encourage community design instead of sprawl. We can demand the best in architecture and land use. Good design can make life better, demanded a public service message by the American Institute of architects." ffn049-06
