Boston: Beacon Press, (1968) dj. Hardcover first edition - A discussion of the essential factors needed to create a planned revolution which can deal with both the urban and the racial explosion, but preserve the continuity of democratic order and traditions of our society. The author was involved in the Baltimore model city project, an element of U.S. President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and War on Poverty. In 1966, new legislation expanded this program to more than 150 five-year-long, Model Cities experiments to develop new antipoverty programs and alternative forms of municipal government. However, while this did succeed in fostering a new generation of mostly black urban leaders, as the nation moved to the right after the urban riots of the late 1960s, this program was abandoned in 1974. The ideas presented here, with the emphasis on the necessity of creating multiracial urban communities still have some relevance, even more more than 60 years later. Maps, tables. Notes, bibliography, index. xvii, 650 pp.
