I experienced the downfall of Pruitt-Igoe đŸ˜±

Pruitt-Igoe was a public housing complex in St. Louis, Missouri, built in the 1950s as part of a post-World War II urban renewal initiative aimed at providing affordable housing for low-income families. Designed by architect Minoru Yamasaki, the project included 33 high-rise buildings and was initially praised for its modernist design. However, by the 1970s, it faced significant challenges such as crime, poor maintenance, and inadequate community resources, leading to deteriorating living conditions. The complex was demolished starting in 1972, symbolizing the failures of mid-century urban planning and the ongoing socio-economic issues in urban America. #UrbanDecay #Housing #History Learn more about your ad choices.
