Denver's Model Cities program.
Weber, Bret A.

Denver's Model Cities program. - 410 p.

Adviser: Robert Alan Goldberg.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Utah, 2007.

The Demonstration's Cities Act (1966), more generally known as the Model Cities program, was the urban-policy flagship of President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. Often misunderstood as simply a housing program, an extension of urban policy, or something vaguely related to community action, it was actually all of those things and much more. Unfortunately caught in the currents of an emerging backlash, Model Cities was first dismissed by politicians and then neglected by policy analysts and historians. Rather than an overly centralized expansion of the welfare state it was actually fairly conservative in regard to its localized nature and required grassroots involvement. Consequently, its atomistic nature requires a mosaic constructed from various case studies.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The Demonstration's Cities Act (1966), more generally known as the Model Cities program, was the urban-policy flagship of President Lyndon Johnson's Great Society. Often misunderstood as simply a housing program, an extension of urban policy, or something vaguely related to community action, it was actually all of those things and much more. Unfortunately caught in the currents of an emerging backlash, Model Cities was first dismissed by politicians and then neglected by policy analysts and historians. Rather than an overly centralized expansion of the welfare state it was actually fairly conservative in regard to its localized nature and required grassroots involvement. Consequently, its atomistic nature requires a mosaic constructed from various case studies.
520 $a Denver's program offers a uniquely illustrative part of that larger story. As one of the first Model Cities programs, Denver provided lessons for HUD administrators drafting implementation policies, and served as a model for other cities working to establish their own programs. It achieved a balance of bottom-up, grassroots pressure and innovative guidance from city hall. Denver's experience included a mix of African American and Latino communities struggling, competing, and cooperating to reshape the city. Finally, the Latino and African American mayors serving Denver in the wake of the program through the end of the century offer evidence that the Model Cities program altered social and racial realities in previously inconceivable ways.
520 $a Amid the explosive urban crises of the 1960s and the demands of the disenfranchised to full participation in the political process, Model Cities programs dominated the final stages of the War on Poverty. Programs gave low income and previously disenfranchised citizens direct and meaningful access to the process of power, changed racial politics, established a new tier of leadership, and set precedents for federal and local interactions. A story lauded by the press in its day, this study endeavors to redress its neglect since that time. The history of Denver's Model Cities Program reveals how struggles between the powerful and the poor changed the lives of both.
