History
The city of Baltimore underwent redevelopment, known as Urban Renewal, in the 1960s and 1970s. From plans begun in the 1950s, the city demolished structures and built new ones in selected areas that were considered blighted. These included many residential areas, as well as the part of the downtown business district. In general, from the 1950s through the 1970s, many areas of Baltimore, both city and county, saw development as the citys population shifted from the center to the suburbs. Areas which once had a rural or small-town character became more urbanized. The removal of the citys streetcars in ca. 1963 changed the landscape, as did the construction of major roads such as the Beltway and the Jones Falls Expressway.
