Downtown Portland, shown here in 1925, was poorly designed for the automo- bile age. Its streets were narrow and segmented, and its commercial establish- ments difficult to reach by auto. Modernization began in the 1960s with the Model Cities Program, a federal response to the 1960s ghetto riots and the fail- ure of the urban renewal projects of the previous decade. Model Cities rejected the “bulldozer” form of renewal in favor of addressing social, as well as physical problems. Maine Historical Society photo. MODEL CITIES, HOUSING, AND RENEWAL POLICY IN PORTLAND, MAINE: 1965-1974 BY JOHN F. BAUMAN Shepherded through Congress by Maine Senator Edmund Muskie, the 1967 Model (or Demonstration) Cities Program was originally intended for the nation’s large, ghetto-ridden metropolises where it would target a host of social and economic programs including housing.
