Locus of the New Republic --II. Seat of American Empire --III The City and the Modern State --Conclusion --Afterword --Note on Sources --Notes --IndexAs the only American city under direct congressional control, Washington has served historically as a testing ground for federal policy initiatives and social experiments-with decidedly mixed results. Well-intentioned efforts to introduce measures of social justice for the district's largely black population have failed. Yet federal plans and federal money have successfully created a large federal presence-a triumph, argues Howard Gillette, of beauty over justice. In a new afterword, Gillette addresses the recent revitalization and the aftereffects of an urban sports arena.Urban policyWashington (D.C.)City planningWashington (D.C.)Washington (D.C.)Social conditionsWashington (D.C.)Politics and governmentWashington (D.C.)Race relationsUrban policyCity planning361.6109753Gillette HowardJr.,1942-1623397MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808043503321Between justice and beauty3957779UNINA
