• Abstract:
  This report summarizes the findings of the "new systems" study. The study reflects the concern of the Department of Housing and Urban Development for cities and their people as well as for their transportation. For assistance in preforming the study, the Department engaged 17 contractors from industry, scientific research centers, universities and the foundations over an 18-month period. Economists, engineers, scientists, technicians, urban planners, systems analysts, management consultants, and transportation experts were employed. The results of their efforts and a recommended research and development program are summarized here. A series of more detailed technical reports, containing the specific findings of the contractors, will be forthcoming.
