Paperback / softback. New. High-rise public housing was a signature of the post-World War II city. A hopeful experiment in providing temporary, inexpensive homes for all Americans, the "projects" soon became synonymous with the black urban poor, isolation and overcrowding, drugs, gang violence, and neglect. Here, Venkatesh seeks to salvage public housing's troubled legacy. ISBN 0674008308 9780674008304 [GB]

ISBN10: 0674008308, ISBN13: 9780674008304, [publisher: Harvard University Press] Softcover High-rise public housing developments were signature features of the post-World War II city.
