520    In 1997, after General Motors shuttered a massive complex 
       of factories in the gritty industrial city of Flint, 
       Michigan, signs were placed around the empty facility 
       reading, "Demolition Means Progress," suggesting that the 
       struggling metropolis could not move forward to greatness 
       until the old plants met the wrecking ball. Much more than
       a trite corporate slogan, the phrase encapsulates the 
       operating ethos of the nation's metropolitan leadership 
       from at least the 1930s to the present. Throughout, the 
       leaders of Flint and other municipalities repeatedly tried
       to revitalize their communities by demolishing outdated 
       and inefficient structures and institutions and overseeing
       numerous urban renewal campaigns--many of which yielded 
       only more impoverished and more divided metropolises. 
       After decades of these efforts, the dawn of the twenty-
       first century found Flint one of the most racially 
       segregated and economically polarized metropolitan areas 
       in the nation. In one of the most comprehensive works yet 
       written on the history of inequality and metropolitan 
       development in modern America, Andrew R. Highsmith uses 
       the case of Flint to explain how the perennial quest for 
       urban renewal--even more than white flight, corporate 
       abandonment, and other forces--contributed to mass 
       suburbanization, racial and economic division, 
       deindustrialization, and political fragmentation. 
       Challenging much of the conventional wisdom about 
       structural inequality and the roots of the nation's "urban
       crisis," Demolition Means Progress shows in vivid detail 
       how public policies and programs designed to revitalize 
       the Flint area ultimately led to the hardening of social 
       divisions.
