This article examines the state of knowledge about how urban planning can comprehend and address the issues facing cities with extensive residential disinvestment and abandonment. It analyses why planning rarely addresses issues facing the most abandoned areas of cities, except to encourage growth and redevelopment, and how planners can think about or understand the causes of widespread urban abandonment. The article suggests that the principles of efficiency and equity can provide guidance for planners' interventions, and discusses the future of planning in the context of abandonment.

The Sixties

The rescaling of the state and the general governance changes we have witnessed in Western Europe since the sixties occurred in Hungary in the last 25 years. In this paper I revisit the literature on phenomena relating to changes in urban planning governance brought about by neoliberal regimes, and highlight parallel issues in the after-transition Hungarian context. Challenges of local governance are discussed, focussing on the mechanisms that have fuelled segregation in the Hungarian urban context. The paper concludes that glocalisation has been the main outcome of the decentralisation of public administration also in Hungary, whereas more recently rolling out of the state through its development policies financed mainly from EU funds has attempted to address urban inequalities and segregation. In part, however, some of the urban rehabilitation attempts are based on 'diseconomies of conflict', which means that results may become unsustainable in the future.

Refugee integration is a complex process, realized differently by different groups at different times. This article examines the larger global and national context in which decisions about refugees are made and illustrates impacts of these decisions at the local level. A close look at refugee resettlement in Utica, New York, reveals that positive benefits have accrued to the community there over decades. Trump administration policies have cut in half the number of refugees arriving in that city, but the resultant advocacy for the Utica refugee resettlement office led to new income from the State of New York, preserving the city’s ability to participate in the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program now and in the future.

Key Largo

A range of deeply held convictions and loudly proclaimed opinions was reflected in the New York theater in the years before Pearl Harbor. Between 1933 and 1941 New York theatergoers saw plays representing multifarious positions, from pacifism and anti-intervention to critiques of fascism. This variety represents the public discourses of the time, a time of confusion and uncertainty, when there was no single way of understanding the problems facing us and no clear path through the problems into the future. Some plays, such as Robert E. Sherwood's Idiot's Delight, Lillian's Hellman's Watch on the Rhine, Robert Ardrey's Thunder R ock, and Maxwell Anderson's Key Largo, used the world crisis as a means of considering the state of the nation during great economic upheaval or the state of the individual as the world teetered toward a war that seemed inevitable.

The Relationship

This paper, by M. Estellie Smith of the State University of New York at Brockport, was read at the Southwestern Anthropological Association meeting in Tucson, Arizona 1971, and deals with the relationship between anthropological research in the Southwest and the objects of that research, Southwestern Indians. The issue is a crucial one for the future of the discipline. The paper has not been rewritten from the original prepared for presentation at the SAA Meetings. The style is obviously that of an oral presentation and the author thanks her readers for accepting it. Requests for comments were made to people with an interest in the Southwest or Indian Studies. Karen D. Kovac, Joel S. Savishinsky, Jack Forbes, Louise Lamphere, and Jack Frisch comment on the paper and Dr. Smith replies.
