Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rise and fall of California's low-rent housing projects during the 1940s. The author analyzes the political and social milieu that led to these projects, and how their proponents used California's governmental structure to enact change. Moreover, the author examines the challenges of planning, funding, constructing, and managing large-scale housing complexes, which are still relevant today.
