Andre M Shakens 194X analyzes planning during the 1940’s. Shaken explores the ideas planners and architects during this war torn time. 194X is the acceptance of planning in the home front during this time of conflict. Architects had turned to planning because poor economic times that caused an absence in building stemming from the effects war. The government brought the idea of planning to the public and in turn planning brought hope to the public who had been subjected to the times of the depression and WWII.

Programs like Planned Parenthood were introduced into the American society. “Planned Parenthood was started as a grass roots organization.” (39) Shakens argues the word “planned modernized the organization and planned parent hood distanced itself from its prior incarnation by adopting a metaphorical framework of planning.”(39) This is a unique example since Planned Parenthood was started as a grassroots organization and ended up becoming a federal program. He suggests their success is that is because of a consensus and value that the public found in Planned Parenthood. This grass roots approach is unlike another representation he gives upon this assumption though all planning movements would call for a redesign of the American way of life. If the planning movement were to be successful it would be started from the community and then be adopted to the federal level. This idea of planning in lives is more personal because it deals with contraception and is a physical and living question that this organization provides a service desired and perpetuating public health.

Post war planning would tie the American government closely with the socialist society of Russia who would become Americas main opposition after WWII. This is because during the post war life of victory it would contrast the American values and beliefs that had run off the free market. In response to these anti socialist agendas the government disband the NRPB as to distance itself from these socialist coined ideas. If planning were
