Notes
  • Significance: The first federally funded housing project in the United States, Techwood Homes represents the first large-scale attempt to eradicate slum housing in a socially humanitarian way in this country. Techwood's emphasis on living standards and community planning - as illustrated by its engineering and construction techniques, site layout, landscape and open space design - served as an experimental model for subsequent public housing projects.
