English term or phrase: brave new world
CONTEXT:
From the 1950s to the 1970s urban
planning, despite isolated manifestations
of public unease with the direction
it was taking, was a magnet for the
brightest and best of those involved in
government. It was the embodiment of
the dream of the **brave new world**. Planners
were socially and politically progressive.
