Between Justice and Beauty : Race, Planning, and the Failure of Urban Policy in Washington, D.C. PDF
by Howard, Jr. Gillette
- Information
Description
As the only American city under direct congressional control, Washington has served historically as a testing ground for federal policy initiatives and social experiments—with decidedly mixed results.
Well-intentioned efforts to introduce measures of social justice for the district's largely black population have failed.
Yet federal plans and federal money have successfully created a large federal presence—a triumph, argues Howard Gillette, of beauty over justice.
In a new afterword, Gillette addresses the recent revitalization and the aftereffects of an urban sports arena.
