Post; Winston Churchill Quote, Help!


I am trying to find a quote attributed to Winston Churchill concerning urban renewal due to the German Blitz in WWII. Something to the effect that for years what the government had unsuccessfully tried to
renew/revitalize the ghetto's of London, the Germans accomplished in short order through the bombings in the Blitz. Any help would be appreciated.

Only thing I could find, it's not the right one I'm afraid but it's always better than nothing.
"Most painful is the number of small houses inhabited by working folk which have been destroyed... We will rebuild them, more to our credit then some them were before... London, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham may have much more to suffer but they will rise from the ruins more healthy and I hope more beautiful." Winston Churchill October 8, 1940.
