Model Cities represents a history of the federal government's Great Societies, anti-poverty program known as Model Cities (1969–1974). This American program, now largely forgotten, paid federal dollars for experimental community-initiated projects, with the goal of alleviating economic, social, and spacial issues in 150 disenfranchised urban areas.
