Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the translation and adaptation of national policy by local governance to fit specific local contexts by examining the process through which HOPE VI backed public housing redevelopment plans have been created and implemented in Chicago, IL. Previous research on the HOPE VI program has largely focused on two aspects of the program: HOPE VI as an evolution of U.S. public housing policy and specific outcomes of the program in a particular location. While both bodies of literature acknowledge the important role of local governance and context in shaping redevelopment plans, neither adequately explores this process. This dissertation examines (1) the process through which decisions regarding the planning and implementation of public housing redevelopment at the local level have been reached, and (2) the effect of the local political, institutional, economic and spatial context on these decisions. It finds that Chicago's public housing redevelopment planning has been a path dependent process that has required the collaboration of competing interests. However, divisions, particularly class-based divisions, have not been set aside in favor of collaborative action to address local problems. Rather, ostensibly collaborative institutional arrangements have become venues for conflict and have served to reinforce or exacerbate existing power disparities. This dissertation provides a deeper understanding of the specific implementation of the HOPE VI program in Chicago as well as the functioning of the program more generally. It bridges the policy gap that exists between federal level programs and local implementation and furthers understanding of how local power structures and contexts influence the ability to produce equitable outcomes from urban redevelopment projects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chicago is celebrated for its rich diversity, but, even more than most US cities, it is also plagued by segregation and extreme inequality. More than ever, Chicago is a “dual city,” a condition taken for granted by many residents. In this book, Joel Rast reveals that today’s tacit acceptance of rising urban inequality is a marked departure from the past. For much of the twentieth century, a key goal for civic leaders was the total elimination of slums and blight. Yet over time, as anti-slum efforts faltered, leaders shifted the focus of their initiatives away from low-income areas and toward the upgrading of neighborhoods with greater economic promise. As misguided as postwar public housing and urban renewal programs were, they were born of a long-standing reformist impulse aimed at improving living conditions for people of all classes and colors across the city—something that can’t be said to be a true priority for many policymakers today. The Origins of the Dual City illuminates how we normalized and became resigned to living amid stark racial and economic divides.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book explores the promise and limits of bottom-up, grass-roots strategies of community organizing, development, and planning as blueprints for successful revitalization and maintenance of urban neighborhoods. Peterman proposes conditions that need to be met for bottom-up strategies to succeed. Successful neighborhood development depends not only on local actions, but also on the ability of local groups to marshal resources and political will at levels above that of the neighborhood itself. While he supports community-based initiatives, he argues that there are limits to what can be accomplished exclusively at the grassroots level, where most efforts fail"--Back cover.
Download or read book Planning Chicago written by D. Bradford Hunt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Sue Popkin tells the story of how an ambitious—and risky—social experiment affected the lives of the people it was ultimately intended to benefit: the residents who had suffered through the worst days of crime, decay, and rampant mismanagement of the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA), and now had to face losing the only home many of them had known. The stories Popkin tells in this book offer important lessons not only for Chicago, but for the many other American cities still grappling with the legacy of racial segregation and failed federal housing policies, making this book a vital resource for city planners and managers, urban development professionals, and anti-poverty activists.
