"Shovel Ready: Razing Hopes, History, and a Sense of Place: Rethinking
Schenectady's Downtown Strategies" is now available at the Schenectady
Digital History Archive at:

<http://www.schenectadyhistory.org/schenectady/shovelready/>

A thought-provoking discussion of downtown development in Schenectady
in the second half of the twentieth century, "Shovel Ready" is
Christopher Spencer's master's thesis in city planning (MIT, 2001) and
analyzes the reasoning behind Schenectady's development plans from the
1924 report of the City Planning Commission to the Downtown
Schenectady Master Plan of 1999, which is also available at the
Schenectady Digital History Archive.
