(The song, "Little Boxes," sang about those kinds of homes, row after row of the same sorts of construction.)<span>
With the growth of the suburbs, improvement of roadways became a priority. Highway improvement was also a priority of President Eisenhower for the sake of national security. The Federal-Aid Highway Act passed in 1956 allocated $26 billion (in 1956 dollars!) to a monumental road-building effort that created the interstate highway system.
