From Tenements to the Taylor Homes: In Search of an Urban Housing Policy in Twentieth-Century America

Authored by prominent scholars, the twelve essays in this volume use the historical perspective to explore American urban housing policy as it unfolded from the late nineteenth through the twentieth centuries. Focusing on the enduring quest of policy makers to restore urban community, the essays examine such topics as the war against the slums, planned suburbs for workers, the rise of government-aided and built housing during the Great Depression, the impact of postâ‚¬â€œWorld War II renewal policies, and the retreat from public housing in the Nixon, Carter, and Reagan years.
