Urban renewal—Time is running out.
Kansan Photo by Hank Young
Renewal: More Participation
The city of Lawrence recently announced that it has received a $550,000 urban renewal grant from the federal government.
The "beautification grant" will go to revitalize an apparently run-down shopping area in downtown Lawrence.
The grant marks the first time that a large block of federal funds has been given to Lawrence for an urban renewal project.
The grant also marks what could be the beginning of a period of frustration, disenfranchisement, and alienation for the vast majority of citizens in Lawrence
The citizens of Lawrence are being led down the same road already traveled by urban residents in other parts of the country during the early 1960s. 'We'll decide what kind of renewal program is best for you.' If this grant is part of a neighborhood development program, why weren't people from the neighborhoods covered by the grant involved in the planning of the program? The federal Model Cities program was designed to eliminate this big brother approach, with neighborhood planning councils deciding what kind of renewal they wanted in their own neighborhood.
The city is to be praised for venturing into the arena at all.
KANSAN comment
who were left out of the planning for this first urban renewal project.
The problems with this "beautification grant," meant to spruce up Massachusetts Street in the business area between 7th and 11th, are a classical pattern, with the grant's adherence to orthodox ideas of planning, renewal and neighborhood development.
The goals of this half-million dollar "sprucing up" are to increase business in the downtown area and thereby maintain high tax valuation and help businessmen get low-interest loans for improving their stores, which are obviously on the verge of collapse.
The urban renewal project is too business-oriented. The planning excluded those groups in Lawrence which should have been the first to be included. It was planning done by people in power, designed to maintain the status quo. The decision to beautify downtown Lawrence was made by the City Planning Commission (before it became the city-county planning commission in May, 1969.) in late 1968 and early 1969. At that time, there were at least several men on the commission who had businesses in the downtown area.
The root of the problem is that these goals were set by a small, unrepresentative group of men who had a common prejudice—a strong interest in maintaining downtown Lawrence as an attractive shopping area.
Because the people who were involved in planning were a homogeneous, isolated, small group with traditional ideas about what urban renewal means, the resulting project is what a well-to-do-white would expect an urban renewal program to be: a superficial painting up job, a surface project that would "cover up" the ugliness of the town.
The result is that Lawrence could be left with a nicelooking, but non-functional urban renewal project. It's the "high-rise and green spaces mean a better city" approach on a smaller scale. Appearances versus reality. Superficial, narrow change as opposed to meaningful, wide-ranging change.
The first project, in the words of city manager Buford Watson, "will give us a running start. It will give people something they can see immediately." The hope is that the succeeding projects, to be planned by a new urban renewal board, will include those people in the planning stages who are going to be most affected by urban renewal—the neighborhood residents. For urban renewal to be successful, it must mean participation as well as "beautification."
The hotel's resident manager, Otto Felkner, said 408 guests were registered at the hotel when a bomb planted in persons were killed but police later reported the official death toll was six. Felkner said between 12 and 14 other persons had some sort of minor injuries.
One of the victims was a hotel security guard who died while trying to rescue guests on the 12th floor of the 18-story hotel. The other five victims were guests. The fire caused toxic gases caused by the fire.
The security guard was identified as Joseph Gauthier, 25, a former patient at St. Luke's victims were identified as Dr and Mrs. John R. Finch of Houston. Finch is a professor of medicine at the Medical School in Houston.
Seven persons overcome by smoke were taken to a hospital. One of them, a young boy, was in critical condition.
