Human Side of Urban Renewal

The Human Side of Urban Renewal, originally published in 1960, offers a vital perspective on the social and psychological effects of urban redevelopment projects. Martin Millspaugh and Vivian Gurney Breckenfeld examine the experiences of residents displaced and otherwise impacted by neighborhood rehabilitation, highlighting the critical need to consider the human element in urban planning.

This study delves into attitude changes resulting from urban renewal, providing valuable insights into how communities perceive and adapt to large-scale environmental transformations. With its focus on the social costs and benefits of urban renewal programs, this book remains relevant for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone interested in the intersection of society and the built environment. It serves as a historical account of urban renewal's impact and provides lessons for future community development initiatives.
