William Jaird Levitt (February 11, 1907 – January 28, 1994) was an American real-estate developer. As president of Levitt & Sons, he is widely credited as the father of modern American suburbia. He was named one of Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century." Levitt has been under criticism for his racially discriminatory policies when providing housing, which have been especially discriminatory to African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans.
