The history of the public housing project known as Pruitt-Igoe is as tense as it is complex.

In your paper, explore the structural, architectural, political, financial, economic, regulatory, and social factors that shaped the lives of Pruitt-Igoe residents – both in terms of their opportunities and their challenges. Be sure to include the experiences and attitudes of former residents in your discussion on the promise and failure of public housing in the United States.
