The housing projects of Newark, New Jersey which inspired the city's nickname, Brick City, were once a prominent part of the cityscape.[1][2]Both low-rise and high rise public housing, were built predominately in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s as city leaders took full advantage of the federal government covering 100% of the building costs for the projects.[3] In many cases swaths of land were cleared for urban renewal to make way for the projects. Many of the larger projects built primarily in the 2nd half of the 20th century have since been razed some by explosive demolition..[4] [5]
by 1992 22 were empty[6]
While there are still many public housing projects throughout the city, design has shifted to smaller townhouse style homes. Funding for replacing the projects has ben made possible with HOPE VI grants.http://www.nytimes.com/2000/02/13/nyregion/public-housing-s-new-face-will-it-lift-the-urban-poor.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm
