The Significance of Troost Avenue
“Built a wall” to divide whites/blacks
● Land use & marketing strategy which
leveraged Troost Ave. to divide white /
blacks
● Kansas City “served as a model” for post
World War II suburban growth
Troost Avenue Aftermath:
● ‘White-Flight’ to West Side of Kansas City
● Led to decades of GIZ disinvestment &
eventual energy poverty issues
1957 NAREB advertisement discouraging whites from living on the eastern

● How did the market-system result in uneven geographic distribution of goods/bad?
● Who are the winners and losers? Did they stay the same throughout the
implementation of the GIZ?
● What does the chain of explanation look like that lead to the establishment of the
GIZ?
● How can the GIZ be seen as a “seed”?
● What evidence is there of methodological pluralism throughout the GIZ process?
