He often failed, and even when he succeeded, the outcomes remained troubling. Cohen addresses these failures, though she treads softly to avoid discrediting the idea of activist government:. This book aims to present an alternative, more nuanced history of postwar American city building that does not dismiss the federal role in renewing cities and subsidizing housing as pure folly.
It claims instead that there is a usable past of successful government involvement in urban redevelopment from which we can benefit today. Logue began his career in New Haven in the s, when the city was grappling with middle-class suburban flight, a declining tax base, and a largely tax-exempt local economy. Today, the parking garage remains, but the mall is gone, replaced by a community college and residences. For too long, the infamous Connector isolated downtown from Union Station, leaving a desolate area of mostly open parking.
More than 60 years later, New Haven is finally transforming the expressway into an urban boulevard. In , he moved to Boston, a city also confronting decline, but this time with fewer federal resources.
Both buildings are hard to admire, however, though the city has tried to temper their harshness with plaza plantings and a new headhouse for the T station. Despite transit accessibility, Government Center retains a large, concrete parking garage. In exchange for securing control of the island, Logue agreed to complete unfinished urban-renewal sites in the Bronx and Coney Island. The agency avoided the typical underwriting and due diligence that ensures private projects can generate enough revenue for long-term financing and operations.
By , the UDC had defaulted on its debts, and Logue lost his job. His signature achievement was Charlotte Gardens , an enclave of small, single-family detached homes—incongruously constructed on vacant land that had become a nationally recognized symbol of urban decline.
Logue doggedly pieced together funding for Charlotte Gardens in a period of fiscal austerity. Though the South Bronx remains largely low-income, few signs of its physical devastation remain. Credit for this reconstruction extends well beyond Logue.
Despite his shortcomings, Logue inspired many to pursue distinguished careers in architecture, urban development, and public service. But too many of his projects became impediments, not enhancements, to the vitality of struggling mid-century cities.
