In 1933, Franklin Roosevelt created the Public Works Administration to revive America's industry. The Public Works Administration supplies jobs and increases purchasing power through the creation of public buildings. "Public Works Administration (PWA)."

What is our purpose? During the Great Depression, many people lost their jobs and businesses shut down. This is where our program would come in handy. The Public Works Administration creates infrastructures that benefit the whole city. With these new buildings, we are able to provide jobs for many unemployed people. In addition, these new buildings have the potential to create better lives. For example, we have created hospitals, highways, and schools. "Public Works Administration."

Where will our program be used? This program would be best utilized in an urban area. Urban areas are often larger, which will give us more room to create more buildings. With an urban area, it is easier to get around due to the proximity of the many buildings. Urban areas are often closer to highways and airports, so it will be easier for people to access and travel to their new jobs. "Urban Life: Advantages and Disadvantages of Urban Life."

How will we achieve our goal? To reach our goals, we plan to work with the government. With the government's assistance, we will be able to start to break ground. We plan to advertise these project plans to landowners and the government. Once they approve of these plans, we will build public buildings that benefit the entire city. It will be expensive to build these and many people will have to help construct these infrastructures; however, in the end, it will all be worth it. Winter, Catherine. "Public Works Administration ."
