Synopsis

Rebuilding St. Louis after the war: a practical plan for housing, transit, and public works

This book lays out a comprehensive approach for renewing a growing city, focusing on housing standards, transit financing, sewers, parks, and riverfront improvements. It presents the arguments, costs, and political steps legislators would need to take to move large public projects forward.

  • It explains how housing for lower‑paid workers could improve and how municipalities might share responsibility.
  • It discusses transit as a public utility and the idea of city bonds to fund new lines and improvements.
  • It canvasses a broad program of public works, including riverfront development, sewers, street openings, and parks, with estimated costs.
  • It weighs the city’s debt limits, tax considerations, and the need to align bond terms with the life of improvements.
Ideal for readers of urban planning history, postwar civic policy, and the evolution of city planning in the early 20th century.
