Скачать или смотреть When Toronto Tried to Eliminate Poverty | The Story of Regent Park

Regent Park was Toronto’s first public housing project and a major postwar urban renewal experiment. Built in the late 1940s to eliminate poverty and replace inner-city slums, it became one of Canada’s most well-known public housing communities.

In the 2000s, the original buildings were demolished and replaced through a massive mixed-income redevelopment project. This video examines the history of Regent Park, public housing policy in Toronto, urban renewal, revitalization, and the social impact of redevelopment.

What went wrong — and what replaced it?
