Presented with slides of pictures depicting various urban renewal projects. Housing Act would attempt to make and provide better living conditions in urban areas in the US- over 1000 cites and 2000 projects of urban renewable at the time of this recording. Able to alter physical and social problems- urban renewal is just one of the many tools to help or better a given area of town. ABQ- urban renewal project- city commission- retains final authority to either go ahead or not with an urban renewal project. Kinds of things that can be done with urban renewal: renewal process addresses physical problems like streets, water lines, street lights, etc.; housing that is somewhat deteriorated that can be fixed up; housing that can be rescued- improvement of environment like paved streets or else land management that prevents proper development.
