Their successes included an award~winning master plan, a number of laudable redevelopment projects, and exemplary planning leadership in the City and the nation. Yet in those same decades, Detroit was transformed from a city that enjoyed liveable neighborhoods, healthy commercial strips, a bustling downtown, and beautiful parks into the notorious symbol of urban decay that it is today. In Redevelopment and Race, June Manning Thomas explains what went wrong. She demonstrates how and why government programs were ineffective and even destructive to community needs~and how social striving and class disunity added a further difficulty to their implementation. Examining the City she knew first as an undergraduate student at Michigan State University and later as a scholar and planner, Thomas argues for a different approach to traditional planning~one that places social justice, equity, and community ahead of purely physical and economic objectives. A unique historical analysis of the interaction of redevelopment and racial issues in one city, this book offers an important contribution to both planning history and urban studies. Thomas's thoughtful solutions offer hope to both citizens and government agencies that struggle every day with redevelopment issues in America's older industrial cities.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This book examines the intersection of African American history with that of the Bahá'í Faith in the United States. Since the turn of the twentieth century, Bahá'ís in America have actively worked to establish interracial harmony within its own ranks and to contribute to social justice in the wider community, becoming in the process one of the country's most diverse religious bodies. Spanning from the start of the twentieth century to the early twenty-first, the essays in this volume examine aspects of the phenomenon of this religion confronting America's original sin of racism and the significant roles African Americans came to play in the development of the Bahá'í Faith's culture, identity, administrative structures, and aspirations.…

paperback. Condition: Near Fine. DETAILS: PAPERBACK, attractive copy, near fine, slight wear to corners. THOMAS, JUNE MANNING / RITZDORF, MARSHA, ed. . Urban planning and the African American community: in the shadows. Thousand Oaks: Sage Publications, 1997, 1st printing number line ending in 1, , . "How have urban planning policies contributed to racial injustices in American cities? Does contemporary urban planning really address and attempt to solve the social and economic problems of African Americans in cities, or does it just perpetuate ghetto conditions? What have African Americans done to confront injustices in planning? Historically, race and city design are linked, and Urban Planning and the African American Community aims to clarify the historical connections between the African American population and the urban planning profession and to suggest means by which cooperation and justice may be increased. The book focuses on areas of zoning and real estate, planning and public policy, African American initiatives and responses to urban planning, and urban planning education. Individual chapters examine the racial origins of zoning in American cities; how Eurocentric family models have shaped planning policies applied to African American families; the rise of equity planning and its effects; the role of race and empowerment in the Model Cities experiment; and the influence of African American experiences on the planning of such cities as Los Angeles, Greensboro, and Birmingham. The editors also include a chapter of excerpts from important court cases and government reports that have shaped or reflected the racial aspects of urban planning.
