Question

Do you think that urban renewal was an effective approach to the housing problem in inner cities?

Answer 1

Think about this:
-Goals of the National Housing Act of 1949
-the claims made by some critics of urban renewal
-the resident's best interest

Effective—The ultimate goal was to construct affordable housing for the poor, and it did tear down many bad areas and put up new housing.
Ineffective—It did not provide enough new housing and displaced many poor people when old housing was torn down.
