Recently the Department moved into 300W of Tegeler Hall, 3550 Lindell. Tegeler Hall is about a quarter mile further east on Lindell from McGannon. It is the first building on Lindell after the fountain at the intersection of Lindell and Grand. If you’re in the neighborhood this summer and just want to stop in and look around please do. You’ll find the new space more spacious than the somewhat cramped quarters over in McGannon Hall.

Mapping Decline:
St. Louis and the Fate of the American City
Please join us for a presentation by author Colin Gordon about his important new book followed by a provocative discussion of the implications of the book’s findings for the future of the St. Louis region.
Where: East-West Gateway Council of Governments
1 S. Memorial Drive
16th Floor
St. Louis, MO 63102
When: Monday, June 2, 2008
11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Panelists:
Todd Swanstrom, St. Louis University
Mike Jones, senior policy advisor St. Louis County
Charles Brennan, KMOX
Jim Brasfield, Webster University
Who should attend: Public officials, planners, citizens, students, civic leaders…anyone interested in understanding the future of the St. Louis region.Mapping Decline traces the complicity of private real estate restrictions,
local planning and zoning, and federal housing policies in the “white flight” of people and wealth from the central city. Mapping Decline is the first history of a modern American city to combine extensive local archival
research with GIS mapping.
“Colin Gordon has infused the ‘old’ story of urban decline with new energy and urgency. His mapping of St. Louis’s evolution is a powerful indictment of the distorting, segregating, and wasteful effects of public policy over several generations. Yet the book is not just about history. Incredibly, as Gordon shows, current national and state policies and governmental fragmentation continue to undermine the recovery of American cities at the precise moment when they matter again— economically, environmentally, and socially.”
— Bruce Katz, The Brookings Institution
Colin Gordon is Professor of History, the University of Iowa and author of Dead on Arrival: The Politics of Health Care in Twentieth- Century America and New Deals: Business, Labor, and Politics in America, 1920 1935.
