 Welcome to Jackson County Online - White City Urban Renewal - Background
White City is an unincorporated area of Jackson County located along Highway 62 between the cities of Medford and Eagle Point.
White City is the fourth largest population center in the county, with more than 6,000 people and is comprised of a broad range of urban, residential, commercial, and industrial land uses.
During the 1980's, White City experienced a loss of population, an increase in improper use of the area’s resources, and a downturn in the timber industry leading to increased unemployment.

 The City Beautiful Movement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
However, the real consumers of the city's goods were not its residents; increasingly, with the advent of improved transportation and roadways, the middle and upper-middle class retreated from the cities into the suburbs, leaving the less well-to-do and the downright poverty-stricken to the quickly decaying urban center.
The shimmering "White City," as the fair came to be known during that summer in Chicago, was a tour de force of early city planning and architectural cohesion.
Not only was the White City dignified and monumental, it was also well-run: there was no poverty and no crime (so the visitors were led to believe), there were state-of-the-art sanitation and transportation systems, and the Columbian Guard kept everyone happily in their place.

 Jazz Age Chicago -- White City
As "wholesome" as White City may have been, it was not considered without its temptations, at least in the eyes of many Chicagoans.
White City's centerpiece, the Electric Tower was nearly three hundred feet high and was illuminated by 20,000 light bulbs.
By surviving White City's physical oddities, including its extraordinarily peculiar walkways, Chicagoans presumably might be better equipped to withstand the psychological trauma of walking through crowded streets in the Loop and other Chicago neighborhoods.

 ZUEBLIN, THE WHITE CITY AND AFTER
The White City came in the fulness of time; its elements were necessarily in existence in other cities, as its executives, architects, artists, builders and engineers were successfully plying their callings elsewhere, but nowhere had they united in a common purpose for the immediate achievement of a comprehensive result.
The White City was unique in being an epitome of the best we had done, and a prophecy of what we could do, if we were content with nothing but the best, and added to individual excellence a common purpose.
The White City was the symbol of regeneration.

Not the gesture alone of planting a new "city upon a hill" for the world to admire, but the accidental setting of that gesture between the financial panic of 1893 and the strike of 1894 makes White City seem a fitting conclusion of an age.
For a summer's moment, White City had seemed the fruition of a nation, a culture, a whole society: the celestial city of man set upon a hill for all the world to behold.
Moreover, in choosing neoclassicism as its dominant style, White City made obvious allusion to European Baroque, to the monumental neoclassicism of capital cities in which radial avenues, open plazas, and facades of columns signified royal power, the authority of the state on display.
