Architecture conceived between the end of the second World War and the late Twentieth Century has defined American suburban living. The desire to be close to the city while far enough away to be rid of its negative aspects begins with careful planning and adequate transportation. As populations in the United States grew after the second World War, there was a great need for housing. With the growing Atlanta metropolitan population alongside influences of historic new towns, Peachtree City, Georgia, was born. This new city is a unique example of a new town, as it resembled no other at its beginning, was free from many of the standard tract housing practices, and was intended to be an entirely self-sustaining community for the working class. This thesis intends to explore the original character-defining features and design values of Peachtree City and understand how these have been maintained and how they have evolved over the decades. With this knowledge, the conversation and study of architecture from post-war through the late 20th century will be expanded and understood greater within the historic preservation field.
