But the recovery in the 1970s was not evenly felt across the country. While prospects did not seem as grim as a decade earlier, Northern industrial cities continued to lose population while cities across the Southwest surged. John Mollenkopf attributes this to conservative urban development policies on the federal level. Conservatives in and out of government were sick of the disorder of the older (minority- dominated, Democratic-voting) cities, and put their support elsewhere: These newer cities, typified by those in the Southwest, are strong service centers, have little traditional industry but branch plants instead in the new industries, and little or no conflict or even political debate over growth issues.
However muddy the thinking was, a series of mid-1960s laws, under President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society program, radically changed the focus of federal urban development policy. As John Mollenkopf writes: Before 1966, urban renewal projects had demolished more than a quarter of a million lowrent central-city units, displacing almost a million people. Only 114,829 new units had been built in cleared areas, and only 45,861 of these were subsidized. 46 The new approach to urban renewal involved the participation of people from the affected communities, a radical and controversial departure from the topdown development practices.
Small-scale projects gained in popularity. ” Many cities were climbing out of debt,72 while office construction was revving up for the 1980s boom. Planners and citizen groups tended to favor the redevelopment of existing architecture in their modest ventures. But the recovery in the 1970s was not evenly felt across the country. While prospects did not seem as grim as a decade earlier, Northern industrial cities continued to lose population while cities across the Southwest surged. John Mollenkopf attributes this to conservative urban development policies on the federal level.
