Pruitt Igoe public housing site reduced to rubble
The Pruitt Igoe complex in St Louis, once a national model, now lies as 60 acres of rubble with a single shell remaining. Built in 1954 at 36 million and demolished after a costly failure, it housed about 12 000 people until its closure in 1973 amid rising crime and elevator failures. Kay Spinks, who raised five children there, reflects on the era as her two sons won gold medals.
