urban crisis  

Définition

  • The expression urban crisis functions as shorthand for a host of issues—social, economic, political—that appeared to reach a critical point simultaneously in many United States cities in the mid-1960s. Long-term trends in the mid-20th century included factory closings and the shift of population, offices, and retail businesses to suburban areas, which depleted cities' tax bases and left inadequate resources for servicing aging infrastructure and for responding to the social problems engendered by unemployment and poverty.
