Abstract
The purpose of the following report is to provide the city of East St. Louis with timely information for their use in designing meaningful planning proposals for the development and restructuring of the community. This study contains a suggested development plan to improve the urban environment of E.S.L. It is the continuation of a previous study done by three other students and myself at Washington University. The development of a new town in town proposal for E.S.L. was taken by our group as an initial starting point for gaining an understanding of what a physical designer might offer to a community which has been affected by vast economic, social and political problems. It also concerned the location of this new town in town. Due to the time limitation it was necessary to make assumptions and provide proposal plans for four target areas in the central part of the city, which we called tne Spine. ln this study I am continuing the work done by the group and re-examining the goals and strategy as well as giving solutions in detail.
