dumbreads finished reading The Federal bulldozer by Anderson, Martin (Publications of the Joint Center for Urban Studies of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University)
Content warning last line of the book included
Very informative, some chapters (6th) are very math-focused and I had to read them slowly to understand. His critic of the urban renewal program in the USA (circa 1964) draws a grim - but fair - picture of the program, and it's very interesting. He calls out gentrification practices, yet the last line of the book left a sour taste in my mouth;
" The Federal Urban Renewal Program conceived in 1949 had admirable goals. Unfortunately it has not achieved them in the past and cannot achieve them in the future. Only free enterprise can. "
[eyeroll]
I feel like I've been fooled.
