  • Connecting People and Place Prosperity in Chicago's
    University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Department of Urban and Regional Planning MUP ’16 – Capstone Report Chicago’s Near North neighborhood, best known as the former site of the Cabrini-Green public housing project, has been an area of contrasts between wealth and poverty for over 100 years. In 2015 a court settlement was reached between Cabrini-Green residents and the Chicago Housing Authority, clearing a path for the construction of 1,800 new affordable housing units in the neighborhood as part of a larger mixed- income community1. Concurrently, several high- and mid-rise condominium developments have been built on the neighborhood’s periphery with more scheduled for construction in coming years. Within the context of this significant change, this document posits a variety of strategies to integrate a new character of built form into the Near North while remaining attentive to the needs of long-term neighborhood residents and incoming public housing residents. This document consists of three sections composed with a goal of providing an understanding of the neighborhood’s past and offering strategies for future improvements to the neighborhood’s physical structure and the systems that serve its residents. Section One attempts to develop an historical context for the Near North of 2016 through a review of the neighborhood’s history and how the neighborhood’s relative isolation from the success of the city around it has led to the state of change in which the neighborhood exists today. Section Two centers on the work of the University of Illinois at Urbana’s Chicago Studio, an interdisciplinary, five-member collaboration between the Illinois School of Architecture and the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, whose goal was to develop an urban design- based vision for the Near North of the future based on input from existing neighborhood stakeholders and a range public and private sector professionals.

  • Epared This Community Involvement Plan (CIP) for the Four Peoples Gas Cleanup Sites Located on the Near North Side, One of 77 Well-Defined Community Areas of Chicago
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 Community Involvement Plan Peoples Gas Plant Sites: Division Street Station Hawthorne Avenue Station North Station Willow Street Station City of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois August 2009 Introduction U.S. Environmental Protection Agency prepared this community involvement plan (CIP) for the four Peoples Gas cleanup sites located on the Near North Side, one of 77 well-defined community areas of Chicago. The sites are found near Goose Island, which is located in the North Branch of the Chicago River. This CIP provides background information on the sites, describes activities EPA will perform to keep the public and local officials informed about progress at the sites, and encourages community involvement during cleanup of the sites. This CIP also lists the concerns of nearby residents and local officials regarding the sites and ways for EPA to address those concerns. The information in this CIP is based primarily on discussions with residents and local officials that occurred April 1-2, 2009. Site background EPA has entered into an agreement with Peoples Gas Company to oversee the company’s investigation of 11 former manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites in Chicago. Peoples Gas will investigate the extent and nature of contamination at each site, and then evaluate potential cleanup options. In consultation with Illinois EPA, the City of Chicago and area residents, EPA will make the final cleanup determinations. All of the properties covered by the agreement are relatively close to the Chicago River, which was a transportation route when the MGPs operated. These facilities produced gas from coal from the mid-19th through the mid-20th centuries.

  • After the Towers: the Destruction of Public Housing and the Remaking
    After the Towers: The Destruction of Public Housing and the Remaking of Chicago by Andrea Field A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved March 2017 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Philip Vandermeer, Chair Deirdre Pfeiffer Victoria Thompson ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2017 ©2017 Andrea Field All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the history of Cabrini-Green through the lens of placemaking. Cabrini-Green was one of the nation's most notorious public housing developments, known for sensational murders of police officers and children, and broadcast to the nation as a place to be avoided. Understanding Cabrini-Green as a place also requires appreciation for how residents created and defended their community. These two visions—Cabrini-Green as a primary example of a failed public housing program and architecture and Cabrini-Green as a place people called home—clashed throughout the site's history, but came into focus with its planned demolition in the Chicago Housing Authority's Plan for Transformation. Demolition and reconstruction of Cabrini-Green was supposed to create a model for public housing renewal in Chicago. But residents feared that this was simply an effort to remove them from valuable land on Chicago's Near North Side and deprive them of new neighborhood improvements. The imminent destruction of the CHA’s high-rises uncovered desires to commemorate the public housing developments like Cabrini-Green and the people who lived there through a variety of public history and public art projects. This dissertation explores place from multiple perspectives including architecture, city planning, neighborhood development, and public and oral history.

Brooker Inter-Agency Center by Donna Margaret Ducharme Submitted to the Department of Urban Studies and Planning in May, 1982 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of City Planning ABSTRACT This thesis is a study for the Robert E. Brooker Center of the YMCA of Metro- politan Chicago. It addresses the question, what are the important place re- lated characteristics and interactions that inform choices about how the YMCA should proceed in organizing for community economic development in the area. The place related analysis is used as a basis to explore the question, what is community economic development and what sorts of community economic de- velopment objectives and strategies should be employed to impact the situa- tion. In this case, the place is the Near North Side of Chicago, an inner city community that contains both the wealthiest and the poorest residents in the city. A substantial, but declining manufacturing base and a healthy non-manufacturing base exist in different parts of the area.

    GOOSE ISLAND OVERLOOK This property was once used as a coal storage yard and boat yard prior to its acquisition by the Site No 01 City of Chicago in 2003 thanks to a grant funded by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. The large crane and other structures on the prop- erty are in the process of being removed. The river bank will be graded and the concrete removed. The Chicago Park District will be the eventual owner of the property after the clean-up is completed. Designs are not completed, but improvement of natural habitat will be a strong component within the plan. There will also be a water access point for canoes and kayaks. The park will be used primarily for passive recreation.

  • Chicago River Trail Action Plan
    CHICAGO RIVER TRAIL ACTION PLAN 1 The Vision We envision a seamless Chicago River Trail system that will provide a low-stress corridor for people walking, running and biking. The Chicago River Trail will be made up of a diverse array of elements, including riverside, floating and decked trails, on-street connections and robust wayfinding. Building the trail structure on or over the water is key to expediting trail construction since riverside land is currently unavailable in places. The Chicago River Trail will be accessed by a safe and comfortable network of streets designed to ensure people on foot, bike and New sections of a riverwalk may be added along the river, such as this transit have easy access to the river no matter their point of origin. stretch between Bubbly Creek and Ashland Ave. Rendering courtesy of Great Rivers Chicago. The Chicago River Trail will provide residents an opportunity to celebrate and embrace Chicago’s unique neighborhoods, The Opportunity its history and its diversity. Urban waterfronts provide cities with unique possibilities for recreation, open space and transportation. Many world class cities have invested in developing waterfront parks and trails in order to connect residents with the myriad quality of life benefits they can bring, such as improved health, cleaner environments and economic opportunity. While Chicago’s lakefront park and trail system is second to none, the Chicago River has not yet reached its full potential as a community recreation and active transportation asset. A continuous Chicago River Trail system would help transform a neglected waterway into vibrant open space and an active transportation corridor connecting Chicago’s diverse neighborhoods to the river and to each other.
