ABSTRACT
The restructuring systems created in the century's first decades took place in the single decade of the 1930s during the New Deal, and the new systems being expanded in range and intensity during World War II and the postwar periods until the sharp break with the past wrought by the Richard Nixon administration. During the war, billions of dollars were spent for new suburban housing for war workers. This chapter discusses how Louis Winnick related the movements to the plight of the cities, as the migrations continued in the middle third of the century. To epitomize thinking about the opportunities to refashion American life into a proper post-World War II framework, the author redefine old Ebenezers as the Do-Good Ebenezers and old Babbitts as the Shiny Babbitts. The chapter provides the way to understand the urban-type developments that were being put in place to create the suburbia which coincided with a desire on the part of the business community.
