Destroyed in a dramatic and highly-publicized
implosion, the Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex has become a widespread
symbol of failure amongst architects, politicians and policy makers. The
Pruitt-Igoe Myth explores the social, economic and legislative issues that led
to the decline of conventional public housing in America, and the city centers
in which they resided, while tracing the personal and poignant narratives of
several of the project's residents. In the post-War years, the American city
changed in ways that made it unrecognizable from a generation earlier,
privileging some and leaving others in its wake. The next time the city
changes, remember Pruitt-Igoe.
