“Saving America’s Cities” Wins Bancroft Prize
The book was cited as “a nuanced view of federally-funded urban redevelopment and of one of its major practitioners that goes beyond the simplicity of good and bad, heroes and villains”.
The prize was established in 1948 by the trustees of Columbia University with a bequest from the historian Frederic Bancroft and is awarded to books for their “scope, significance, depth of research and richness of interpretation”.
