The Federal Urban Renewal Program, initiated in the 1940s and continuing into the 1970s, provided over $4 billion for urban renewal projects across the United States. This funding aimed to revitalize deteriorating urban areas, improve housing, and enhance infrastructure. The program often involved the demolition of blighted neighborhoods and the construction of new residential and commercial developments. Despite its intentions, it faced criticism for displacing communities and failing to adequately address the needs of low-income residents.
