Thesis (M.Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1982. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Bibliography: leaves 162-164. / This thesis develops the master plan, urban design guidelines, and housing models for two of the residential sections of Westway, New York City -- a 178 acre landfill project proposed for Manhattan' s Hudson River shore. The thesis also makes suggestions for the design and uses of the waterfront parks and open spaces adjacent to the residential areas. The thesis' s designs are developed with concern for making Westway appropriate for its waterfront site and urban context; expressive of a world-city meeting the water; and accommodating to the broad cross-section of people who can be expected to live in the project. The author's design methodology -- consisting of the analysis and synthesis of elements of New York City's residential tradition; principles of Modern housing design; and waterfront precedents established in New York City and in cities abroad -- forms the basis of an approach to the design of cities and their extensions which is presented in the conclusion. / by Roy Strickland. / M.Arch.

The New York State politicians, notably members of Congress such as Irving Ives, Herbert Lehman, Samuel Dickstein, Emanuel Celler and Jacob Javits, were very involved in the immigration debates for the period from 1945 to 1953. By their interventions, they emerged as fiery supporters of a liberalization of American immigration policy. A willingness to satisfy a multiethnic electorate largely explains their position. But these individuals, mostly defenders of President Truman's foreign policy, also believed in this cold war context that an attenuation of restrictionism in immigration would provide numerous advantages to the nation. If their attitude seems dictated by considerations that were both pragmatic and idealistic, it generated non-negligible results. Thus, the granting of a quota to India in 1946, the act on the war brides in 1945, as well as the legislation affecting the refugees in 1950, were among the measures mainly ascribable to the activities of these politicians.
