Young Workers Network: The Development of the Irish State
The document discusses the development of the Irish state in relation to housing policy and ownership. It notes that in the 1920s and 1930s, the Irish government aimed to promote home ownership through building grants and rates remissions for owner-occupiers. In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a push for private home ownership as a way to combat communism and social unrest. The 1966 Housing Act allowed many public housing tenants to purchase their homes, resulting in over 200,000 public units being sold into private ownership by the early 1990s. The global financial crisis that began in 2008 saw overbuilding and overborrowing inflate asset values in an unsustainable way according to the CEO of NAMA in 2011.
Master's Thesis
This document summarizes Milwaukee's urban renewal efforts from the 1950s through the 1960s. It describes how Mayor Frank Zeidler established a Redevelopment Authority to oversee urban renewal projects, facing opposition from business interests and the city council. His successor, Mayor Henry Maier, consolidated planning bodies into a Department of Community Development to better coordinate renewal efforts and gain support from businesses. However, urban renewal faced ongoing challenges from lack of coordination and public opposition to projects that displaced communities.
Urbanization Review
Progressives in the early 20th century sought to address issues arising from rapid urbanization through legal reforms and social services. New laws aimed to improve safety standards in crowded tenement housing. Settlement houses and community centers provided aid, education, and social programs to help immigrants and the poor, especially children, adjust to city life. Famous examples included Jane Addams' Hull House in Chicago and facilities created by the YMCA and Salvation Army. The goal was to help newcomers assimilate to middle-class norms and lead better lives in the cities.
Irish Labour History, Lecture 7 : The Middleman State
The document discusses the political and social movements in 20th century Ireland, focusing on the Irish Labour movement from 1889 to 1924. It covers the rise of new unionism, James Connolly and the Irish Socialist Republican Party, Jim Larkin and "Larkinism", the 1913 Lockout and Irish Citizen Army, syndicalism from 1917 to 1921, and the civil war and retreat of the labour movement from 1921 to 1924. Required and supplementary reading materials on these topics from several authors are also listed.

Inner City Problems
Problems in inner cities include high unemployment, crime, poverty, and inadequate services. In the 19th century, inner cities were centers of industry but factories closed in the 20th century, leading to economic decline. By the 1960s, housing in inner cities had deteriorated greatly. Urban renewal efforts in the 1960s cleared many inner city areas and built new high-rise apartments, but these failed to fully address social problems. Issues like congestion, unemployment when companies relocated, low educational and income levels, and high crime rates persist in many inner cities today.
CHICAGO
Chicago is the third most populous city in the United States, located on the shores of Lake Michigan in Illinois. It grew rapidly in the mid-19th century and covers an area of nearly 150,000 acres. After the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 destroyed large parts of the city, efforts were made to rebuild. In the early 20th century, urban planner Daniel Burnham designed a plan to beautify Chicago against urbanization, focusing on the city center with parks, boulevards, and architecture. While the plan helped development and aesthetics initially, issues like traffic congestion and loss of green space arose as the population increased.
Egypt and Middle East Protests Grammar Lesson
After weeks of widespread protests in Egypt, President Mubarak resigned from power on February 11, 2011, ending his 30-year rule. The protests were inspired by uprisings in other countries and called for more democracy and an end to Mubarak's authoritarian leadership as a dictator. Mubarak's resignation marked a victory for the protest movement seeking democratic reforms and free elections in Egypt.
