- The Baltimore Plan was an urban planning initiative to remove urban blight.
History[edit]
Prior to WWII, Baltimore had little housing codes with segregated services. The most notable early code was the 1910 J. Barry Mahool ordinance No. 610 prohibiting African-Americans from moving onto blocks where whites were the majority, and vice versa.[1] In 1947, Baltimore created a housing court to enforce code laws. In 1949, Baltimore initiated the "Block One" program, which cleared a courtyard of 63 houses of fences and outdoor toilets, replacing the private property with an open paved public play area funded by code violations against building owners. This would evolve to the Baltimore Plan, heavily sponsored by the National Association of Home Builders as a method of revitalizing neighborhoods through private enterprise rather than government housing programs.[2]
In 1941 an independent private group called the Citizens Planning and Housing Association (CPHA) was formed with Morton Hans Froelicher, Frances Morton and mortgage banker James Rouse. Prior to Federal Housing Administration loan insurance, the urban mortgage market was a higher risk secondary market with collateral loss in blighted neighborhoods.[3] In 1950, CPHA campaigned the city government to initiate a pilot program for government backed neighborhood improvement programs. In 1951, Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. created the Mayor's Advisory Council on Housing Law Enforcement with Rouse as chair, including Guy Hollyday from the Mortgage Bankers Association. The Baltimore Plan was created to remove blight from a 27 block section of East Baltimore.[4] The process was to identify a slum, and hold an inspection by the housing department, sanitation, police, and fire and cite owners for violations.[5] A special housing court would hear cases, and condemn the homes or offer a loan furnished by Hollyday and Rouses's Fight Blight Fund.[6]
The Baltimore Plan was not originated by Rouse, but he became the prime spokesman and advocate for the program. The plan was reviewed by other states housing officials to see if the model would work in their cities.[7] Rouse vowed not to stop until all of Baltimores slums are completely cleaned up.[8]
In 1953, NBC broadcast the Encyclopædia Britannica produced film "The Baltimore Project" The film dramatized the cleanup of slums by fining owners to clean up their properties. The promotions were lauded by the NHMBA facing government building competition, and discounted by Milwaukee mayor Frank Zeidler as a surface treatment in the fight over government housing spending priorities.[9]
By 1953, the plan had rehabilitated 403 buildings in 100 blocks of the 2000 block effort. The 27 block pilot area was audited and fell below American Public Health Association minimum standards of living.[10] Rouse noted that using code violations would take 300 years at the current rate to clean up Baltimore. He petitioned the mayor to give him a centralized inspection and enforcement commission. When the effort was not approved, he left the commission and founded a Maryland State housing program. Rouse founded "Democrats for Eisenhower" in 1952, and was invited to assist Dwight D. Eisenhower to develop the Housing Act of 1954 loosely based on the Baltimore Plan which spawned a series of housing initiatives Rouse would capitalize on with his planned-city development company The Rouse Company.[11][12]
Commission member Yates Cook left to join the National Association of Homebuilders and Guy Hollyday joined the Federal Housing Administration. - Wikipedia

I grew up there in the 1950's and 1960's and saw poor conditions but not this severe. Went home 3 years ago and North Ave. is horrible. City leadership aggravates the neglect.
It's crazy im from Baltimore born and raised and the housing situation is EXACTLY THE SAME!
Mee too, and I see now how it's been fucked up for over half a century, Sad
Facts
I'm from East Baltimore and I see it as a rotating system if you can get out try to give back and that's what I'm working on.
Dam so it was always like this /not one change and it’s 2022
This plan was used to remove people from the Inner Harbor and Fells Point. The price point changed to enter the Neighborhood and the demographics changed to.
Not much has changed since then, hospitals and colleges have brought up all the land - Super Gentrification
truth the hospitals didn't only buy up the land and displace the natural people but they also experimenting big time addicts, mental health and all types of disorders are becoming social normals east Baltimore got blocks that once held familys friends vibrate natural being with true potency and potential are now crumbing and lingering with lead poison I mean blocks bro like no huemans some building destroyed and some remain property value drop then they bring it up by building new stuff thats in (THEIR) best interest, in the hospital case their future workers/students their staff members they even create programs for their workers and certain benefits so it would be easier to obtain property in these gentrified areas they create its a pattern thats been happening before I was conceived but realization is happening at the moment so new beginning are happening for the displace the error will be corrected
I cannot get enough of these programs. This is a channel I will always support and keep close to my heart. Thank you for teaching all of us with these viewings.
The street at the beginning looks like Victorian slums in London and other British cities.
Mind blown....... I could go so many places with this..... Its all starting to make sense....Slowly but surely
So now we have landlord's that owners of vacant houses that reside in another state, that are falling apart and and are fire Hazzard, Just recently 3 Fire fighters were killed due to this problem.

Baltimore city is still a depressive and oppressive environment, with that same 1954 racist energy. Some things never change.

You should connect w/ my man Laurence Brown over at Morgan, Mike.

I grew up in Baltimore and lived in the projects, I don't remember this. Where in the hell part of town was this? This looks like a war zone...Good Lord!
I lived in Baltimore for bout 2 years this suppose to be the first projects in the 50s. I just learned that the projects where a research that went wrong! Wow..black ppl we have been through so much and yet we still not bitter we have to be the Chosen ones!!

Trump was 100, RIGHT ABOUT BALTIMORE, SHITHOLE OF SHITHOLES.. MORE RAT ATTACKS THAN ROACHES
red red we have to get bitter & angry, anger gets shit done!!
Why do some people always need social workers to fix things? They make people helpless and dependent. Look at Baltimore now...just as filthy and just as crooked as ever. Guess who the mayor of Baltimore was in 1954: Mayor Alesandro….a crooked and crooked Mafioso and the father of guess who?: NANCY PELOSI.
Smh shit still.look like that
And some 60+ yrs later........B'more still crappy
