Abstract
[This chapter describes the background to the designation of the Western Addition as a slum slated for redevelopment. It gives a brief summary of the history of redevelopment, the political context for housing as a target and the involvement of different groups, churches, unions and politicians. It describes how the media was used to identify the people who lived in the area as a problem for society, one that required their homes to be destroyed and their removal. Historic preservation, community preservation and the politics of clearance are covered briefly.]
