The Interstates and the Cities: Highways, Housing, and the Freeway Revolt (Raymond A. Mohl, 2002)

January 1, 2002 by

A PRRAC Report (2002). By Raymond A. Mohl, Department of History, the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Excerpt: “American cities experienced dramatic change in the decades after the Second World War. These changes included the massive deconcentration of central city population, the shift of economic activities to the suburban periphery, the deindustrialization or redistribution of metropolitan manufacturing, and a racial turnover of population that left many of the largest American cities with a majority black population well before the end of the twentieth century. Various government policies contributed to these large-scale changes, such as tax and mortgage policies, public housing programs, and urban redevelopment schemes.”
