New Housing Concepts: Report on Naacp Equal Opportunity Tour - European Industrialized Building Systems
After months of intensive planning, more than 100 Americans representing U. S. minority groups, predominantly blacks, spent 17 days from February 27 to March 15, 1970, inspecting European industrialized housing systems and new towns. The tour marked the first time a minority group from the U.S. traveled to Europe to study, first hand, industrialized building techniques. The NAACP undertook the tour to provide entrepreneurs in the field of housing with new ways of moving into mass production and systems building operations in the U.S. The purpose of the tour was to determine how a rationalized industrial process for producing housing, one which has helped Europeans rebuild their cities since World War II, can be adapted to help meet the housing crisis in the U.S., mainly in the low- to middle-income market. As experts in their field, the members of the tour explored the opportunities for licensing, technical assistance, and financial assistance to mass produce housing to groups which include a representative number of minority groups on the decision-making level.
