Identifier	Thesis 1910
Author	Karolczyk, Paul
Title	Case of Pinnacle Heights: a historical geographical materialist analysis of a modern public housing project in New Britain, Connecticut
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2007
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	In 1952, Pinnacle Heights became the second public housing project in New Britain, Connecticut that was a product of the state's Moderate Rental Housing Program. Completed in 1954, Pinnacle Heights provided 450 units of modern affordable public housing until 2006. Today, Pinnacle Heights is vacant, boarded up, and deteriorating, as the City of New Britain finalizes plans for demolition and redevelopment of the site for commercial use. However, by looking at the blighted structure, it is impossible to know that the construction and last days of Pinnacle Heights were products of dynamic historical, political, and socio-economic processes. As part of New Britain's urban geography, the development of Pinnacle Heights interconnects with the history of the city's manufacturing industry. Its construction and destruction were interconnected with the socio-economic processes of modern capitalism. This thesis interprets the development of Pinnacle Heights using the methodology of historical geographical materialism which examines urban geography as a component of historical, political, and socio-economic processes. The methodology itself is based on the framework of historical materialism, which emphasizes that an interconnected process of social relations and material conditions is the principal basis of historical development and, thus, urban geography. Since the 1960s, Marxist geographers have been refining the methodology of historical geographical materialism. Thus, the methodology examines the historical development of urban geography by viewing it in relation to socio-economic formation, particularly based on the capitalist mode of production.
