Since World War II, housing has undergone a series of
radical transformations in the United States, from the
rise of the suburbs in the '50s to today's crisis of
homelessness for millions. We will explore the role of
government and public policy in this transformation, and
seek to create our own model of what public policy
concerning housing should be in the remainder of the 20th
century.
