Description

Please join us for a comparative and historical analysis of the gentrification of the Near North Side of Chicago.

Professor Bodnar will examine the communities that have replaced the Cabrini-Green housing ‘projects’ and the proliferation of similar kinds of residential planned developments -- particularly in US and European cities. This horizontal analysis will be complemented by discussion of the history of gentrification on the Near North Side and the unfolding of current redevelopment initiatives, which signify a new scale and configuration of generalized gentrification as it has come to be known. This line of inquiry also focuses on the public-private interface.
