·3 l I,' . , \\ Citiz ens of Hodel Cities m~e now rightly p2.rticipating in activities uhich aim ( to do i mmediately what ~ be done i mmedintely- --i1hile planning for the future. They are tired of b2in 6 the p assive subj e ct. of surveys and plmis that bring no immediate benefits--· But as they move for·mi:cd by self dc/e,erminG d practical steps---as citiz ens of. the State of Georgi a, th.:;y uill expect, t.o take advank1go of nll the ne,·r syste;-;, s nnd devices th at modern t e chnology can c or.ie up uith to meet their needomd requirements-and to benefit fro:-n th3 St ate 's investment in Technological Research and Education.

Atlanta's Hocbl Citi es prog:rr:m he~ the opportunH,y and tho1,rs the promise of leading the nation-- and Georgia Tech ~~.shes to do its part in this by providing the technolog:ically-~af sd education and in~ ovative research that is needed to do this job. Such ne;,r purpose and dire ction can ect as a ereat incentive to help raise our levels of acade·J1ic achi~vemc..11-t-- and cur students will be better citizens b rlCc:mse of their involvement in it. One thing in particular has to oe ~aid about _this --:,·~ We should not ever imagine Georgia Tech's store of t echnological expertise to be .;· like the wealth of some rich family, reP.dj~--to make charitable gifts to poor ·.. relations. ' Tech very much needs new ch ~ es - that are commensurate with~ resources -- ~nd the challenge of the 1Hodel Cities' The shoe may well be on the other foot. program is in this sense something of a gift to Georgia Tech. Our association with Mode 1 Ci ties- can 'o e much more fruitful to us than - 5imilar associntion with Urban Renewal has been in the past. ·1.Hodel Cities' has tbe built-in capacity to succeed where previous programs proved abortive. This is because of its bnsic princivle of Citizen participation an~ its total integration of Social economic and physical improvement measures. What this architecture class is attempting,is n relatively small project, to �,; be explor:cd ~nci developed at a high speed-- as th8se .things Go ---- but it is important to us at Georgia 'i'ech_p bec ause it ccm prepare the way for
