 Urban Renewal
Including massive demolition, slum clearance, and rehabilitation, urban renewal proceeded initially from local and state legislation, which in Illinois included the Neighborhood Redevelopment Corporation Act of 1941 (amended in 1953), the Blighted Areas Redevelopment Act of 1947, the Relocation Act of 1947, and the Urban Community Conservation Act of 1953.
The earliest emphasis was placed on slum clearance or “redevelopment,” which was followed by a focused effort to conserve threatened but not yet deteriorated neighborhoods.
First, it expanded the city's power of eminent domain and enabled it to seize property for the new “public purposes” of slum clearance or prevention.

 KnowledgePlex: Emerging Strategies for Revitalizing Public Housing Communities, 1996
While data suggest that most public housing is in good physical condition, recent trends toward increasingly impoverished resident populations suggest that tinkering with the public housing program by changing occupancy policies or creating new, small-scale initiatives will not lead to long-term sustainability of communities.
URD plans in Seattle and Indianapolis are used to illustrate the range of flexible intervention strategies for revitalizing public housing communities.
Since little research exists to indicate which combination of approaches ensures the long-term sustainability of revitalized communities or mixed-income developments, more evaluation of URD efforts is necessary.

During the Civil War, the Town of Kansas was in the midst of battles, almost all of them victories by the Union.
