Urban Renewal- The Southwest, Washington, D.
Southwest section extends from South Capital Street to the south side of the Mall. It is Washington, D.C.'s smallest section. Almost all of Southwest Washington has been rebuilt since the 1950s as part of a major urban renewal program. As a result, this section has many relatively new houses, apartment buildings, and office buildings. In the 1950's the federal government embarked on a massive plan to wipe out slums in the cities across the country.Urban Renewal? was the term used to denote the wholesale razing of 'substandard? housing and its replacement with attractive neighborhoods.Southwest- beginning in the early 1950s with the annihilation of 5,700-mostly slum-dwellings, Southwest Washington went through dramatic change'the area was razed and rebuilt.(6 of 6). .
Washington, D.C's streets are mostly rectangular, running East-to-West (given numerical signs) and North-to-South (given alpha signs). However, Southwest is a part of the section that is very hard to locate because the area is mostly surrounded by tangles of highways, bypass, bridges, railroad tracks and dead-end-streets.The rest of the city may be laid out on a grid but Southwest is accessed only via handful of techy, complicated routes-by tunnel, overpass, bridge, and parkway? (1 of 13). Today, commercial buildings, federal buildings, and empty parking lots, located on service roads, mostly surround the streets of Southwest. Moreover, some of the streets of this section come to dead-end-street, often marked with fences. For instance,O Street ends in cul-de-sac just shy of Delaware Avenue. After a few yards of grass and an inexplicable fence, it starts again. The rational city grid just wasn't part of utopia's plan?(6 of 13).
Before the renewal plan took place in Southwest, streets were pedestrian friendly, had small retails and enterprises where people hung out, giving them a sense of community.
