Manage change we must Ifor only in this way can we do a far better job than we have in the past of assuring that the burdens of change. beneficial to society as a whole. are not borne disproportionately by a few individuals. Despite our present efforts. the strength and vitality of our older cities continues to wane. Our older cities. in many instances. have been unable to compete with the attractive suburban green and the age of the motor car. although here in Boston the flight to the suburbs has at least been arrested. Into our older cities come the new immigrant. the farmer. the Negro. the Puerto Rican. almost penniless. inexpert and unknown. Today he is destined to live in slums or to generate new slums through simple overcrowding. Here he finds himself unable to gain adequate employment.
