Article Title:The next America revisited

Abstract:
This article examines Columbia, Mar land, called The Next America by its founders in 1967. It compares the Planning goals and actual achievements over the third of a century that the city has existed. The physical plan and social plan are discussed in turn, and their reinforcing aspects are considered. Issues of community and identity, racial integration, education, religion, transportation, shopping, work, and parks are addressed. Many of the goals have been achieved; others have fallen short or evolved over time.
