“Politics”

Frank Lloyd Wright unveiled his model of Broadacre City, illustrated in, at Rockefeller Center, New York, in 1935. He believed that the citizens of Broadacre should pursue a combination of manual and intellectual work every day, thus achieving a human wholeness that modern society and the modern city had destroyed. In Broadacres, by elimination of cities and towns the present curse of petty and minor officialdom, government, has been reduced to one minor government for each county. In the buildings for Broadacres no distinction exists between much and little, more and less. The traffic problem has been given special attention, as the more mobilization is made a comfort and a facility the sooner will Broadacres arrive. In the affair of air transport Broadacres rejects the present airplane and substitutes the self-contained mechanical unit that is sure to come: an aerator capable of rising straight up and by reversible rotors able to travel in any given direction.
