Left wing architecture brought us Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village

Originally (1947) prioritized for WWII vets (and very much just for white people for like a while after it was built), the development today has some of the most sought after rental apartments in the entire city, cause it's a great place for community

11k apartments from 14th st to 23rd st, 1st ave to ave C

It also gave us Pruitt-Igoe…

I think execution is a lot more important than the architectural style in the success or failure of projects in that era
