【摘要】芝加哥的罗伯特泰勒家园曾经在美国公共住房社区中臭名昭著，这个由28栋高楼组成的社区处处狼藉，犯罪频发，而且还时常有暴力毒品交易发生。20世纪90年代，美国联邦政府期待通过“希望六号”计划来扭转公共住房的糟糕局面，从而复兴公共住房。规划和设计对不同时期的美国住房政策有重要影响，一个时期的经验和教训对后来政策的制定有很好的借鉴作用。

Abstract：Chicago’s Robert Taylor Homes became the infamous face for public housing in America due to their poor conditions, crime, and violent drug trade which ran throughout the twenty-eight building complex.

Planning and design played large roles in each of these distinct eras of US housing policy and lessons learned from one clearly informed the other.
