What are suburbs
I'm talking about two diff things here: - suburbanization, which--in older cities at least--was about replacing urban building patterns with more spread-out, low density ones, with the difference in population relocating to fringes (so yes, it did *also* urbanize the country)
-
-
- projects, where a dense low-rise neighborhood would be demolished and replaced with subsidized high-rises with lots of lawn between them (hence "give the poor urbanites a lawn")
-
An observer at the time could be forgiven for assuming that the planners and officials sincerely believed that access to grass was a panacea for social, economic, and health woes
-
As far as the projects went, being forcibly moved into a new dwelling was something that people might've been able to get over--but while cities tried to make one new housing unit for each one lost, there was no such consideration for small businesses, and that blow was fatal
