The emergence of America as a metropolitan-urban society has had profound consequences for every phase of national life, but nowhere has its effects been greater than in the domain of government. The growth of the city and its evolution into the metro-city has led to problems more complex and intense than any previously known. These problems command the concern and resources of all governments, federal as well as state and local; for as they have gained general attention they have emerged as national problems. Coincident with national involvement in problems once held to be local has come a rise in federal government relations with the cities. Such relations, though in fact of long standing, have increased greatly in number and intensity since 1933. The result is a significant expansion in the practice of federalism, one marked by the emergence of the cities as partners in the federal system. Urbanization in a Federalist Context treats the expanded federal partnership in urban growth and argues that it is not a fact to be welcomed. Martin traces the expansion of federal authority in the United States from the 1930s through the 1960s. He shows how local issues become national issues, and also how national authority expands, affecting all aspects of location government. The developments he explores reflect a federal system in the process of constant but evolutionary growth. Martin reveals why the relationship between the federal system and metro-cities is a flexible arrangement, capable of adjusting to new demands-but not without its own risks. This classic will be of continuing interest to those concerned about the consequences of the expansion of government authority in the United States.

Winner of the Bancroft Prize In twenty-first-century America, some cities are flourishing and others are struggling, but they all must contend with deteriorating infrastructure, economic inequality, and unaffordable housing. Cities have limited tools to address these problems, and many must rely on the private market to support the public good. It wasn’t always this way. For almost three decades after World War II, even as national policies promoted suburban sprawl, the federal government underwrote renewal efforts for cities that had suffered during the Great Depression and the war and were now bleeding residents into the suburbs. In Saving America’s Cities, the prizewinning historian Lizabeth Cohen follows the career of Edward J. Logue, whose shifting approach to the urban crisis tracked the changing balance between government-funded public programs and private interests that would culminate in the neoliberal rush to privatize efforts to solve entrenched social problems. A Yale-trained lawyer, rival of Robert Moses, and sometime critic of Jane Jacobs, Logue saw renewing cities as an extension of the liberal New Deal. He worked to revive a declining New Haven, became the architect of the “New Boston” of the 1960s, and, later, led New York State’s Urban Development Corporation, which built entire new towns, including Roosevelt Island in New York City. Logue’s era of urban renewal has a complicated legacy: Neighborhoods were demolished and residents dislocated, but there were also genuine successes and progressive goals. Saving America’s Cities is a dramatic story of heartbreak and destruction but also of human idealism and resourcefulness, opening up possibilities for our own time.

Urban centers, in part, are in the process of deterioration. Consequently, land values in these areas, both in dollars and in contribution to the community, remain dormant or depressed. There seems little doubt that there will be greater pressure for urban land. Urban renewal is one method of returning deteriorated urban areas into production for the community. This thesis reviews the development of urban renewal and the urban renewal process as it has been established by the federal government, and gives an intensive case study of an urban renewal project that is under way. The project reviewed is the Esther Short Project development in Vancouver, Washington. By tracing the Esther Short Project development, a proceeding is established that may be used as a guide for other projects. The principal federal law authorizing federal assistance to slum clearance and urban renewal is Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 as amended, Public Law 171, 81st Congress, approved July 15, 1949. Many legislative battles took place prior to 1949 as different housing bills were presented. As the Housing Act has been amended in the years since its adoption in 1949, the trend has seemed to be that the amendments lean towards providing greater federal benefits and more local discretion in the urban renewal programs. Tttle I urban renewal is a program under which the federal government and cities go into partnership with private enterprise to undertake urban renewal. In establishlng an urban renewal program, certain requirements are set forth in the Housing Act and by the Urban Renewal Administration. The workable program is the major requirement set forth for the community. The workable program is a means by which cities are required to set forth and undertake and evaluate programs for community betterment. Once the city's workable program is approved by the federal government, the project can be initiated. The city of Vancouver, Washington, prepared a workable program that was approved by the federal government and then initiated the Esther Short project. The area selected, for the project was built up with many deteriorated and dilapidated buildings. Property in the area was used for a variety of different establishments intermingling among the dwellings. The project was proposed to be for light industrial redevelopment. The area is located adjacent to the central businesses and an existing industrial area. The city was designated as the local agency responsible for the project, and created a city department of urban renewal for administrative control. The project, generally, followed the course established for such endeavors. A citizens committee was appointed to work with the city staff on information and relocation. Local standards were established to measure the extent and degree of blight. The survey and planning, and loan and grant applications were approved. Fixed prices were established for purchasing property. Development standards and minimum prices are being set for resale. It is too early to assess the success or failure of the Esther Short Project, since the land has not yet been advertised for resale. The project is to the point of being ready for land resale and has been well-handled thus far. However, the real measure of success will be if the relocatees have a better life in the long run, and the available land in the project is rapidly developed as an industrial area.

The participants in the planning of an urban development project describe in original essays how the renewal scheme was formulated. City officials, community leaders, a team of planners, and faculty members of the University of Cincinnati worked together in an attempt to create a safe, attractive neighbourhood out of a decaying slum. Organized, applied research involving several disciplines; legally mandated citizen participation; a commitment to establishing a racially integrated neighbourhood: these are some of the elements that made the project unique.
