Do you think that urban renewal was an effective approach to the housing problem in inner cities?

Think about this:

-Goals of the National Housing Act of 1949

-the claims made by some critics of urban renewal

-the resident's best interest

Effective-The ultimate goal was to construct affordable housing for the poor, and it did tear down many bad areas and put up new housing.

Ineffective-It did not provide enough new housing and displaced many poor people when old housing was torn down.
