Rationale for selecting the three case studies
To meet HUD's request, I identified the following three projects:
1) the reorganization of an urban grid of residential streets to create mini-neighborhoods in downtown Dayton, OH;
2) the modification of a row-house public housing project in the South Bronx, NYC;
3) the dispersal of high-rise public housing residents into scattered-site townhouses in the middle-class neighborhoods of Yonkers, NY.
These three projects together deal with the housing problems common to all American cities. They also reflect some of the new programmatic solutions being proposed by HUD.
