Abstract

One of the primary problems that confronts the modern city involves the redevelopment or renewal of existing urbanized areas that are located near the city's central districts. Today, many American cities contain what could be described as a huge cavity of urban decay in their downtown areas. Either the city must correct these areas of blight existing in these districts, or it must accept the existence of a downtown central business district that is surrounded by a substandard periphery.

Abstract

The term "homogenous population," as applied to any group of people, has been misused and overused for a long time. In nearly every case, the users of the term neglect to state the basis for the homogeneity and leave that decision to the imagination of the reader. Thus, the population could be homogeneous if its members were either young or illiterate or lefthanded.
