urbanization of rural areas, it's not like they're knocking down the projects for them

Wtf are you talking about do you know how much was destroyed in U.S. cities from the 20s until the 70s The projects were themselves a product of this movement, the whole aim was to give poor people in cities lawns

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")

ah, I see where I used the term wrong. From a rural perspective "the projects" are big apartments where poor people live, and they all look the same; synonymous with "section 8"

that's what I meant too, I know towers of poor people are now inseparably associated with "urbanism" but the very concept arose from people trying to ruralize the cities
