Annotation

Broadacre City is a model of an ideal community first shown in April 1935 at the National Alliance of Art and Industry’s Industrial Arts Exhibition at Rockefeller Center, NYC. Most of the essay is a description with illustrations of the layout of the community, the housing, and transportation. But Wright, very briefly, puts it in a fairly radical social and political context.
