Book excerpt: In this volume the authors tell the real stories of the planners, politicians, and everyday people who shaped contemporary Chicago, starting in 1958, early in the Richard J. Daley era. Over the ensuing decades, planning did much to develop the Loop, protect Chicago’s famous lakefront, and encourage industrial growth and neighborhood development in the face of national trends that savaged other cities. But planning also failed some of Chicago’s communities and did too little for others. The Second City is no longer defined by its past and its myths but by the nature of its emerging postindustrial future. This volume looks beyond Burnham’s giant shadow to see the sprawl and scramble of a city always on the make. This isn’t the way other history books tell the story. But it’s the Chicago way.

  • ISBN : 9781592137725
  • Pages : 392 pages

Download or read book The New Chicago written by John Patrick Koval and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For generations, visitors, journalists, and social scientists alike have asserted that Chicago is the quintessentially American city. Indeed, the introduction to "The New Chicago" reminds us that to know America, you must know Chicago. The contributors boldly announce the demise of the city of broad shoulders and the transformation of its physical, social, cultural, and economic institutions into a new Chicago. In this wide-ranging book, twenty scholars, journalists, and activists, relying on data from the 2000 census and many years of direct experience with the city, identify five converging forces in American urbanization which are reshaping this storied metropolis. The twenty-six essays included here analyze Chicago by way of globalization and its impact on the contemporary city; economic restructuring; the evolution of machine-style politics into managerial politics; physical transformations of the central city and its suburbs; and race relations in a multicultural era. In elaborating on the effects of these broad forces, contributors detail the role of eight significant racial, ethnic, and immigrant communities in shaping the character of the new Chicago and present ten case studies of innovative governmental, grassroots, and civic action. Multifaceted and authoritative, "The New Chicago" offers an important and unique portrait of an emergent and new Windy City.

Book Chicago s Central Area Action Plan

Book excerpt: Chicago is unique among major U.S. cities. Not only is it one of a few that still concentrates commerce downtown--perhaps the only one with room to expand--the Loop and its surrounding neighborhoods have also become one of the fastest growing urban residential communities in the nation. In 2003, the City of Chicago created a Central Area Plan that sought to manage this continued growth, and established the future vision of an economically vibrant, architecturally significant, and environmentally sustainable urban center. Since completion of the Plan, the amount of growth in the Central Area has gone beyond even what was envisioned. New office development has occurred at a rapid pace, shifting greater employment densities to the Chicago River corridor and the West Loop. Residential neighborhoods have exploded, with more and more people taking advantage of the cultural amenities, lakefront locations and easy access to jobs that come with living in the Central Area. The Central Area Action Plan has utilized these updated growth trends and the input of a broad cross-section of government, planning, and non-profit professionals to focus on the priority land use, open space and transportation actions for the Central Area. A key facet of the process has been the building of a strong consensus around upgrading the transportation infrastructure that supports continued growth. This paper will discuss the updated growth projections, the menu of key transportation investment options, and the results of a comprehensive, interactive rating process that determined the highest priority actions and projects.
