In Purging the Poorest, Lawrence J. Vale offers a new narrative of the seventy-five-year struggle to house the "deserving poor." In the 1930s, two iconic American cities, Atlanta and Chicago, demolished their slums and established some of this country's first public housing. Six decades later, these same cities also led the way in clearing public housing itself. Vale's groundbreaking history of these "twice-cleared" communities provides unprecedented detail about the development, decline, and redevelopment of two of America's most famous housing projects: Chicago's Cabrini-Green and Atlanta's Techwood /Clark Howell Homes. Vale offers the novel concept of design politics to show how issues of architecture and urbanism are intimately bound up in thinking about policy. Drawing from extensive archival research and in-depth interviews, Vale recalibrates the larger cultural role of public housing, revalues the contributions of public housing residents, and reconsiders the role of design and designers. 410 0$aHistorical studies of urban America. 606 $aPublic housing$zGeorgia$zAtlanta$xHistory 606 $aPublic housing$zIllinois$zChicago$xHistory 606 $aUrban renewal$zUnited States$xHistory 610 $apublic housing, urban, city, poverty, class, policy, chicago, atlanta, slums, development, redevelopment, design, planning, cabrini-green, clark howell homes, techwood, urbanism, architecture, georgia, illinois, violence, inclusion, litigation, nonfiction, land use, sociology, history, mixed income, new deal, high rise, race, black, government. 615 0$aPublic housing$xHistory. 615 0$aPublic housing$xHistory. 615 0$aUrban renewal$xHistory. 676 $a306.580977311 700 $aVale$b Lawrence J.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0298590 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838366003321 996 $aPurging the Poorest$94138942 997 $aUNINA
