Co-op City Information Network

I am a Masters student with an emphasis on Project Management. I chose Co-Op City as my final project. I have found varies sources but I was wondering if there was anyone there that could fill in some information. I am looking for the project's constraints(scope, or purpose, cost, and proposed time line.) Was the main purpose to afford middle income families units in the city at a reasonable price? Was it also to better use the marsh lands and failing amusement park that once took up over 200 acres there? I saw that people started moving in about 2 years after construction started but construction didn't complete for another five years, was this planned? Its seems that due to these constraints, either time or money, the complex has needed several upgrades and repairs through-out the years ie. plumbing, windows, cracked pavement, parking garages.
If anyone has any further information or sources I can use please contact me. Thank you for your time.
