Albert Mayer (planner)
Albert Mayer (December 29, 1897 - October 14, 1981), an American planner and architect. He is well known for his contribution to American new town development and his innovative planning work in India, including the master plan of Chandigarh, the new capital of the Indian Punjab. Mayer practiced as an architect in New York City post-1935, as an engineer stationed in India for the U.S. Army during WWII, and a planner and consultant after WWII.
==Early life and education==
Mayer was born in New York City and attended Columbia University and then Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received a degree in engineering in 1919.〔Goldberger, Paul, 1981. (''Albert Mayer, 83, Architect and Housing Planner, Dies'' ), New York Times, 16 October 1981, p. 6〕 After working for several years post-graduation in the civil engineering sector, Mayer became interested in the social ramifications of design and a few years later he became a registered architect.〔Emmett, Robert C., 1977. ("Guide to the Albert Mayer Papers on India" ), University of Chicago. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 77-2498〕
Mayer was said to be “one of a group of socially oriented architects, planners and urban theorists, including Lewis Mumford, Clarence Stein and Henry Wright." 〔 With Mumford and Wright, Mayer co-founded the Housing Study Guild, a group of design professionals that explored rapid urbanization at the turn of the 20th century. This group was publicly funded and studied different typologies of public housing.〔
Mayer returned to Columbia University after he retired from the professional world to teach.
