From dust jacket: Today, the narrow stretch of land between the Everglades and the Atlantic coast has one of the highest population densities in the United States. Like the rest of the country, south F…lorida in the 1930s faced the hardships of the Great Depression, which revealed tensions between traditional agriculture and growing urban populations; between young families and retirees; and perhaps most important, between the divergent images of south Florida as a fast-paced sunny playground and as a growing urban area with a permanent population and natural beauty. Perhaps more than any other single region in the country, south Florida was transformed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal, which sought to bring relief, recovrey, and reform to the people and the economy. Editors John Stuart and John Stack's work highlights the importance of New Deal projects to the area's development into one of the nation's premier urban districts and toursit destinations. This heavily illustrated collection of essays is the first to approach the physical characteristics and qualities of life that were permanently transformed by the impact of New Deal building programs by integrating perspectives from political science and design history. Contributors examine the ways that government, the economy, and visual culture were embraced by the New Deal proponents in their efforts to help the region on its path to become a portrait of a new urban South, and more important, a bellwether of postindustrial America.
