ABSTRACT
Within a week of returning to London from Switzerland, Tyrwhitt found herself on an ocean liner to New York for an unplanned month-long visit. Tyrwhitt hoped to help pay her way in the US by giving lectures. Thanks to Abrams, who taught at the New School for Social Research, she was hired to give three lectures there: Surveys for Planning, Central Area Redevelopment, and Neighborhoods. Abrams also introduced Tyrwhitt to New School President Bryn Hovde to discuss the possibility of Tyrwhitt returning for six months to set up a planning program there based on the School of Planning diploma course. Tyrwhitt gave her first lecture on the concept of regionalism" mostly Prof. Taylor with a little Fawcett & Dickinson and a flavor of Geddes". Her hosts in Chicago were American Society of Planning Officials (ASPO) director Walter Blucher and Herbert Emmerich, director of the Public Administration Clearing House (PACH); they arranged a full schedule of meetings, lectures, and field trips.
