Washington has harbored numerous private-sector initiatives to develop model housing projects, and it has also been a proving ground for federal policies crafted to improve living conditions for households of middle and moderate income. In addition, the large, middle-class African American population has left a distinct imprint on the metropolitan area’s domestic landscape, developing its own options for housing in city and suburb alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfusely illustrated, with thirteen chapters by fourteen esteemed authors, \u003ci\u003eHousing Washington\u003c\/i\u003e examines the storied legacy of residential development in our nation’s capital, from the early nineteenth century to the present.
