The Failure of Urban Renewal in the Southwest
Despite an initial interest in the slum clearance title of the Housing Act of 1949, three of the Southwest's largest metropolises, Dallas, Phoenix, and Albuquerque, passed on these programs not only due to the tardiness of state enabling legislation but because of a changing political discourse that emphasized the rights of the individual over the needs of the larger community

Focusing on the enduring quest of policy makers to restore urban community, the essays examine such topics as the war against the slums, planned suburbs for workers, the rise of government-aided and built housing during the Great Depression…

Regional Cities or a Region of New Cities
Urban historians are finally starting to give western cities their due. Several recent volumes about the urban West have focused on the unique and not so unique characteristics of cities in that region. Mansel G. Blackford's The Lost Dream: Business and City Planning on the Pacific Coast, 1890-1920 (1993) has ably demonstrated that western civic leaders used planning at the turn-ofthe-century primarily as a tool for urban boosterism. The failure …

The American cities that have played major roles in the history of the United States have also had their share of study. But only recently have historians applied systematic analysis to what is now called the Sunbelt, where half the nation's ten largest cities are located--cities that have gro…
