In France, the construction of enlarged quarters arose between two wars and received more significant development after 1945. In 1950. The Ministry of Reconstruction and Planning published general directives specifically providing for this type of development. In the USA, according to data on 31/1951., The average size of the housing estate controlled by the Federal Housing Administration was 240 apartments, with very significant fluctuations in this average number.
This type of development, numbering on the specified date 709.9 thousand. apartments, including the state of New York 54.3 thousand. apartments arose in the USA only in 1937., when the law was allowed municipal construction. Prior to this, enlarged development was carried out in the United States in a relatively small volume due to private means of construction companies and insurance companies (starting in 1922.). According to the figures given by the director of the Institute of City Land Relations and Housing Construction. Fisher, the total amount of investments of insurance companies in housing construction from 1922 to 1949. amounted to 500 million. Doll.
In the postwar years, such investments of joint -stock and financial capital have increased greatly. As an example, it should be indicated by the work on the restructuring of a number of large territories of urban arrays with a total value of several hundred million dollars conducted and designed in Chicago. The private company Marshal Filde, the New York Life Insurance Society and a group of local bankers and capitalists (Fort Fort Dirborn with an area of 59 ha) participate in the financing of these works. Thus, although the enlarged housing construction in the cities of bourgeois countries is a relatively new phenomenon and, as indicated above, does not determine the modern person of cities to any extent, it has a clear tendency to development. This is facilitated by modern legislation and financing system, which open up financial monopolies, wide investigation opportunities in urban construction.
