This episode of the MacNeil/Lehrer Report focuses on President Carters 1.5 billion dollar urban renewal plan for the South Bronx. The episode covers how Carter began planning the joint federal/city project after visiting the neighborhood in 1977, but that the project has since been met with criticism over tight budgets and urban planning concerns. Guests from the White House, the South Bronx Redevelopment Program, the New York City Planning Commission, and the Institute for Community Design Analysis offer project progress updates and their opinions on how to successfully redevelop the area.
