Exploring Bethlehem, The Lost Neighborhood

Urban renewal was a way of life in many American cities between 1950 and 1975. Bethlehem had many such projects, but one in particular was ambitious, expensive and today is still well known as much for the questionable tactics used to acquire the property as for any benefit derived. When Lehigh University decided to expand its campus, they set their sights upon a mostly residential neighborhood immediately north of the existing campus. When the dust settled, Lehigh had what it wanted, but at great cost to the scores of families who resided in what is now known as "The Lost Neighborhood".
