Rehabilitating the urban environment: state and local reaction
Love Canal is used to illustrate the inability of existing state and Federal laws to either produce or rehabilitate urban environment. A successful city, one in which people can interrelate in a continuous flow of activity, is hampered when environmental programs to solve single problems have conflicting impacts on each other. Inconsistent air and water programs, for example, often conflict with each other and with solid-waste programs. If government-financed development is subjected to critical analysis to determine what secondary impacts will result and if state administrators comply with new legislation and court decisions when funds are allocated, an urban rehabilitation strategy with the necessary legal tools can develop.
