Caldwell’s landscape for Lafayette Park (1955-1963), an urban renewal housing project near downtown Detroit, was considered a model for urbanization. During this period he also published philosophical essays on landscape and city planning.

At the age of 78, Caldwell became the Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Professor of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago and taught there until he died.
