Glass, Milton.
Biographical notes:
Architect. Milton Glass worked on the planned community of Kitimat, British Columbia. Commissioned by Alcan (Aluminum Company of Canada), it was to be British Columbia's first planned community: "Kitimat would be designed for the worker and his family. The fulfillment of people's needs as the focus of a town plan was considered revolutionary. Famed American architect and town planner Clarence S. Stein, and town planners Mayer & Whittlesey of New York fulfilled Alcan's goals. A green space model was chosen separating pedestrian and vehicular traffic and having home, store, and community building face peaceful open spaces, removed from intrusion and hazard by the automobile."
From the description of Milton Glass files on Kitimat Canada circa 1950-1954. (Cornell University Library). WorldCat record id: 639992828
