~By the mid-1950s, it was clear that despite considerable central city building activity in a few cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, North American cities in general were beginning to decentralize, even as millions in federal urban renewal funds were being spent to raze and rebuild whole neighborhoods under the...
