I've worked on papers that, while not specifically associated with urban renewal, rely on many of the same sources.
> Finding sources for Pittsburgh and Boston are a bit more difficult
First of all, you're on your own with Pittsburgh. But, I have enough BOSTON sources to kill an elephant about urban renewal, socioeconomic conditions pre-, during-, and post- the renewal projects, the political context (againt, pre-, during-, and post-), the philosophical context of "modernism", the infrastructural context (this is my particular field, fwiw), the economic context, and a few sources that tie all of those together. So, the question is: how much do you need (speaking from experience, sometimes having too much is worse than having too little)? What do you need? Books (I recommend Urban Villagers by Herbert Gans)? Primary vs secondary (loads of both...easily 1000+ period documents)?
Now....this is just a thought. If this a serious project (which it appears to be - good on you) and you want to know more about how/why/where/when/etc... urban renewal came to be in Boston, you're more than welcome to PM me and I can help out.
