Modern Housing for America Policy Struggles in the New Deal Era
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Univ of Chicago Pr
- Publish date: 01/01/1997
Description:
The basic shape of federal policy in housing as in many other areas was determined during the New Deal, but not without conflict among movements and intellectuals advocating alternative directions. While modern housing ideas failed to define the long-term thrust of federal policy, they did influence a short-lived program of the Public Works Administration, as Radford shows in case studies of the highly acclaimed Carl Mackley Houses of Philadelphia and Harlem River Houses of New York.
