Letter Of End Tenancy

BENAVENTE URBAN PLANNING HISTORY, UNITED STATES, THE GREAT CRISIS.


Best regards and welcome to this humble blog.
Making a break in the analysis of legal concepts related to urban area and thus displaying a certain relaxation in the middle of summer, we suggest remembering or reliving pieces of the urban history of the twentieth century and reflecting them brief and readable and offer a panoramic view of history.
This time we have chosen from among a wealth of historical events, a particular period: the 1929 crisis in the United States of America.

The extract below is part of the book reviewed by Paolo Sica entitled "Urban History, Twentieth Century."

only mention our hope that you like and thank you for enduring stoically patient and our interventions.

Since 1930 the U.S., once champions of global capitalism, offer an aspect of a country adrift: Thousands of investors lost their savings, factories and banks closed their doors, unemployment increases rapidly. Signs of depression are visible in the fields, in small towns and big cities, where the number homeless and where many working class families and the unemployed bocadas vein to live in extremely precarious conditions.


On the outskirts of cities and areas not built in large cities, groups of homeless people built shacks with cardboard and sheet metal remains old. Most of these Hoovervilles, with more than eight thousand souls, had emerged in St. Louis, but almost no city that had not appeared, at least one.

In Portland (Oregon), had formed one of these colonies under the Ross Island Bridge and one of more than three hundred people in the Sullivan `s Gulch. Below, in Riverside Drive, New York, a camp of this type of illegal occupants snaked along the Hudson River in a stretch from 72nd Street to 110th Street. In the neighborhood of Red Hook in Brooklyn, the unemployed bivouacked in municipal landfills in shacks constructed of scrap old cars and sheet barrels Ford abandoned.

Along the banks of Tennessee, Knoxville, and between the marshes that extend under the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey, in the ovens abandoned coal counties of Pennsylvania, including large deposits of waste on the other side of the Blue Island Avenue Chicago the disinherited of fortune offered their last stand.

On the euphoric certainty of national prosperity created in the twenties, the years from 1929 to 1933 represent a period in which there are a series of attempts aimed at alleviating the consequences of the crisis, who do not get any success.

propose a program to build infrastructure and public buildings, provision of credit. But what is clear is that the Hoover Administration does not have a valid or conviction to implement it.

The crisis laid bare the major deficiencies exist in the situation found in cities. Emphasizes the seriousness of the situation in the housing, a sector in which the rigidity of the schemes revealed disastrous economy, and whose deficiencies are revealed harder for the crisis, with its collateral to become the mirror that reflects the disintegration of the country ...


In this piece of history the only intention is to review the moment, pleasant or not, which has met the Urban planning and, by extension, humans. In this case, the plot is to know how it worked the planning and management of cities in an extremely difficult economic times, and thus understand the vicissitudes through which it passes, like any science, urban planning in a particular way.
to planning the next event, take care and enjoy.
