Specificatii
Once a thriving metropolis on the banks of the Mississippi, St.
Louis, Missouri, is now a ghostly landscape of vacant houses,
boarded-up storefronts, and abandoned factories. The Gateway City
is, by any measure, one of the most depopulated, deindustrialized,
and deeply segregated examples of American urban decay. Not a
typical city, as one observer noted in the late 1970s, but, like a
Eugene O'Neill play, it shows a general condition in a stark and
dramatic form.Mapping Decline examines the causes and consequences
of St. Louis's urban crisis. It traces the complicity of private
real estate restrictions, local planning and zoning, and federal
housing policies in the white flight of people and wealth from the
central city. And it traces the inadequacy--and often sheer
folly--of a generation of urban renewal, in which even programs and
resources aimed at eradicating blight in the city ended up
encouraging flight to the suburbs. The urban crisis, as this study
of St. Louis makes clear, is not just a consequence of economic and
demographic change; it is also the most profound political failure
of our recent history.Mapping Decline is the first history of a
modern American city to combine extensive local archival research
with the latest geographic information system (GIS) digital mapping
techniques. More than 75 full-color maps--rendered from census
data, archival sources, case law, and local planning and property
records--illustrate, in often stark and dramatic ways, the
still-unfolding political history of our neglected cities.
