URBAN RENEWAL: THE CASE OF BUFFALO, NY

Alfred D. Price

Scholars of urbanism have long been critical of America’s post-World War II efforts at urban renewal. What is generally less well understood is the theoretical context out of which urban renewal policy arose.

This analysis sets forth the key precepts of modernist thinking in city planning as the explanation for urban renewal’s policy miscalculations. Data for Buffalo document the case, with emphasis upon the exclusion of blacks in the redevelopment process.

Following three decades of failure, 1950 to 1980, a neighborhood-based renewal project is now showing promise in meeting the housing needs of inner-city black households.
