From New Deal Utopia to Strong Town

Greenbelt, Maryland, was born in the 1930s. We are one of three “green belt” towns planned to create employment and provide housing during the Great Depression. The town design was more utopian than traditional, with sweeping sidewalks and pedestrian underpasses leading from houses to the community core.

During World War II, the town expanded to provide housing for defense workers; in the 1950s, the federal government sold the whole town to its residents, who continue to own the homes as a cooperative. The landscaping has now matured into a tremendous canopy of trees, and much of the original green belt surrounding the historic town center has been set aside from development as a forest preserve.

After the war, Greenbelt’s historic district — circled in red in the map below — was enveloped by a car-oriented development pattern. By the 1960s and 1970s, the town had been carved into pieces by wide highways and stroads. We gradually incorporated several large pods of apartment and condo complexes (blue circles), three major office parks (green), two large shopping centers (orange), and two major subdivisions of single-family homes and townhouses (purple).

Please be sure to let me know if you’ll be attending- I want to ensure we stay within the COVID guidelines of 10 ppl or less. Thanks!
