The urban renewal policies of the 1950s and 1960s also had a devastating impact on urban communities. The Federal Urban Renewal Administration (FURA) was established in 1949 to provide funding for urban renewal projects, which often involved the demolition of blighted neighborhoods and their replacement with new commercial or residential developments. However, these projects frequently displaced low-income and minority communities, exacerbating urban poverty and social isolation.
