Description: PROVIDES A COMPARATIVE BASE FOR ANALYSIS AT URBAN PROBLEMS IN THE EARLY 1950S BY SHOWING HOW URBAN DECAY AFFECTS THE LIVES OF SLUM INHABITANTS, BUSINESSMEN, LANDLORDS AND BUILDERS IN SEVERAL U.S. CITIES. TRACES URBAN PROBLEMS TO GROWTH PATTERNS, DEMOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATIONS, AND UNEQUAL TAX BASES. DISCUSSES THE NEED FOR IMPROVED URBAN-SUBURBAN RELATIONS AND SUGGESTS THAT HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND SLUM RENEWAL PROJECTS ARE AMONG THE ALTERNATIVES FOR URBAN IMPROVEMENT. POVERTY. GOOD TENEMENT SHOTS. INTEGRATED KIDS PLAYING. AFRICAN AMERICAN CHILDREN PLAYING. PHILADELPHIA. COULD PASS AS "EVERY" TOWN
