Pruitt-Igoe Redevelopment Project

The Pruitt-Igoe Redevelopment Project refers to efforts to revitalize the site of the former Pruitt-Igoe housing complex in St. Louis, Missouri, which was built in the 1950s and demolished in the 1970s due to poverty and social issues. The redevelopment focuses on transforming the area into a vibrant community with mixed-use developments, parks, and affordable housing. This project aims to address the needs of residents, promote economic growth, and rectify past urban planning mistakes, ultimately fostering a more sustainable and inclusive environment.
