Book excerpt: This article analyzes the evolution of East St. Louis, Illinois, in light of identifiable phases of urban planning in the United States. East St. Louis provides a useful context to trace the history of planning because it is a city that has been mired in the very social, economic, and environmental problems that compel new planning approaches. At the same time, the inability to resolve the city's problems reveals the limitations and ultimate inadequacy of any singular approach. The article tracks the evolution of the city, the catalysts for planning activities, different approaches used, and results of these efforts. It notes that each new approach rejects the previous approach in light of its failure to solve what might be entrenched, complex problems faced by the city. The conclusion calls to question this dismissal of past approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban poverty, along with all of its poignant manifestations, is moving from city centers to working-class and industrial suburbs in contemporary America. Nowhere is this more evident than in East St. Louis, Illinois. Once a thriving manufacturing and transportation center, East St. Louis is now known for its unemployment, crime, and collapsing infrastructure. Abandoned in the Heartland takes us into the lives of East St. Louis’s predominantly African American residents to find out what has happened since industry abandoned the city, and jobs, quality schools, and city services disappeared, leaving people isolated and imperiled. Jennifer Hamer introduces men who search for meaning and opportunity in dead-end jobs, women who often take on caretaking responsibilities until well into old age, and parents who have the impossible task of protecting their children in this dangerous, and literally toxic, environment. Illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs showing how the city has changed over time, this book, full of stories of courage and fortitude, offers a powerful vision of the transformed circumstances of life in one American suburb.

Book excerpt: This history of East St. Louis in the 1960s reveals how city leaders, civic boosters, and urban planners reacted and responded to structural economic change at a time when African Americans were organizing a social movement against racial discrimination and formulating political responses to racial inequality. Like cities across the urban North, East St. Louis acutely felt the flight of industrial capital, and, like many cities across the United States it experienced the loss of white residents to suburban areas. City officials became almost dizzied in their quest for redevelopment, and the height of these efforts to reinvent and reimagine East St. Louis coincided with the climax of the African American civil rights movement. The differences between African Americans experiences in urban space and the spatial imaginations of urban planners shaped the political contestations over the social and economic changes that impacted East St. Louis in the postwar era. As officials reimagined urban space by trying to remake some places and produce entirely new economic uses of urban space, African Americans highlighted racial inequalities by asserting their rightful place in a society where they existed as second-class citizens and by laying claim to their place in the city. African American citizens grew frustrated with the city's segregationist culture and its entrenched political machine, and civil rights battles in East St. Louis transformed into a struggle against racial, economic, and spatial inequality. When African Americans made concerted efforts to build up and better their neighborhoods, while demanding access to the jobs required to do so, they were proposing that social equality could be achieved through a more equitable production of urban space. By bringing together the history of the civil rights struggle in East St. Louis with the local history of urban planning amidst postwar civic revival, this thesis shows how deindustrialization and suburbanization spurred both planners and activists to mobilize in the attempt to chart an urban development agenda. The conflicting visions of redevelopment shaped the political confrontations that defined the civil rights era in East St. Louis.
