The Redevelopment of Lake Anne, Reston, Virginia

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Lake Anne is the showcase of the first "new town" developed in the United States after World War II. Built in the early 1960's, Lake Anne is now 35 years old. Although, it was built as the model for a new way to live and work; time has affected its economic viability. Deterioration, through age, changed real estate market preferences and the way people live today, have created an opportunity to revitalize Lake Anne. This study offers a view of the future possibilities for Lake Anne.
