dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this presentation is to illustrate historic experiments in Appalachian New Deal government planned housing to glean lessons for future prototypes. This research is significant as housing in the region is often viewed through perspectives that reflect private company towns but not governmentally planned ones. This presentation will focus on Depression era housing developments in West Virginia. A particular focus will be a town that was a project of Eleanor Roosevelt and had her support throughout her husband’s administration. It had a goal of providing a sustainable lifestyle to its residents, with a focus on food production and storage. This presentation will utilize relevant literature to examine both issues and policies that act as a framework around the topic, and as a foundation for future research that will rely on a mixed methods approach. Those future research tools will include observation, analysis of historic documents, and interviews and surveys with current residents. This presentation will focus on the contextual setting for decisions and actions related to the construction of the town and will solicit questions from the audience to aid with the shape of the future work. A goal of the work is to highlight both the successes and failures of these centrally planned towns, and an aim of the next phase of research is to obtain findings that will aid planners and policymakers regarding the future of Appalachian housing.en
