The Institute for Community Design Analysis is currently designing crime prevention and community stabilization plans for many cities throughout the U.S. These plans involve inexpensive physical restructuring of residential and commercial areas to reduce crime, improve property values, and create stable racial and economic mixes. Over $500 million have been spent by housing agencies and municipalities in implementing plans prepared by Oscar Newman.

Mr. Newman recently implemented a Federal Housing Remedy Order in the Yonkers Housing Discrimination case, planning and directing the construction of hundreds of units of scattered-site public housing in white, middle-income areas while maintaining community stability.
