Fascinating read on "urban revitalization" (and how it always fails)

Using the example of SouthWest DC, turned over to the government by a supreme court decision in the 1950s, much like New London won theirs...

It doesn't always fail - Baltimore's Inner Harbor and downtown Silver Spring are examples of successful revitalizations, but there are certainly alot more failures than there are successes and the failures tend to be huge.
