Chicago's Bronzeville THE TEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF NEOLIBERAL REDEVELOPMENT GOVERNANCE AND THE RESTRUCTURING OF URBAN SPACE: CHICAGO’S BRONZEVILLE (1989 – PRESENT) BY MATTHEW B. ANDERSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Geography in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor David Wilson, Chair Assistant Professor Julie Cidell Professor Sara McLafferty Professor Gordon MacLeod, University of Durham, UK Abstract: The objective of this study is to nuance our understanding of the temporal trajectory and dynamics of neoliberal redevelopment governance in large American cities. Recent studies have revealed a rupture in the manifestation of this mode of governance in Chicago, IL. I suggest this shift marks a transition between the roll-out (1989-2005) and roll-with-it (2005-present) periods of neoliberal restructuring in this setting and, perhaps, beyond. Although the wider literature acknowledges the spatial contingency of neoliberal redevelopment governance, temporal contingencies within the same city remain comparatively less explored. In this context, this study chronicles the evolutionary trajectory of Chicago’s fluid and evolving neoliberal redevelopment governance with a specific focus on the contemporary socio-spatial transformation of the city’s south-side neighborhood of Bronzeville. In the current context of the global economic crisis and increased grass-roots efforts to thwart gentrification, the legitimacy of this mode of urban governance is now increasingly questioned. Set against this reality, new pragmatic strategies are now required to keep the neoliberal order alive. As a result, governance actors in this setting now articulate an evolved rhetoric that is increasingly sensitive to the historical effects of structural economic insecurity upon the urban and racialized poor. But this “revisionist” rhetorical strategy is revealed as a politically-expedient necessity merely designed to mobilize and legitimate the same revanchist redevelopment schemes. While its “humanist” clothing holds the potential for stimulating more progressive activism and fundamental change, it is a rhetoric that nonetheless remains guided by the ideological underpinnings of neoliberal theology. The study concludes by exploring the terrain of transformative possibilities and capacity of this governance to further adapt to mounting neoliberal-induced obstacles. ii Acknowledgements: I am forever indebted to David Wilson, my advisor, for his immeasurable support, encouragement, camaraderie, and inspiration throughout not just this project, but my graduate studies in general; without which, I would not have been able to execute and complete a project of this magnitude.

A central constitutive aspect of this neoliberal form of capitalism has been a “significant restructuring of the economic role, political environment, and spatial terrain of the city” (Sites, 2007: 116) – what Peck and Tickell (2002, 2007) have characterized as the neoliberalization of urban governance. Triggered by the welfare-state induced crisis of the 1970s, this restructuring process has entailed the crystallization of new private-public partnerships, an “entrepreneurial” business ethic (Harvey, 1989a; Hall and Hubbard, 1998), and the harsh and callous treatment of the poor coupled with an insatiable drive to redevelop long deteriorated urban cores (Smith, 1996; Brenner and Theodore, 2002a). This governance formation, the result of this process of neoliberal restructuring, is this study’s central analytic object: what I refer to as neoliberal redevelopment governance. Although there has been a tendency to treat the neoliberal mode of urban governance as a monolithic, static entity, it is increasingly recognized as best interpreted as a hybrid, constantly evolving institutional formation (Leitner, Peck, and Sheppard, 2007; Wilson, 2004a, 2007; Peck, et al., 2009; Brenner, Peck, and Theodore, 2010a, b; Peck, 2010a). It is also a process that has 1 The study focuses on the contemporary role of cities within the neoliberalization process because cities ultimately act as key sites for the installation of neoliberal policies, practices, and multi-scalar discourses (as well as the mobilization of anti-neoliberal resistance movements). Here, following Peck, Theodore, and Brenner (2009), urban regions represent strategic nodes within the complex and dynamic multi-scalar process of neoliberal regulatory restructuring. 1 unfolded in a distinctly spatially and temporally variegated manner. Indeed, it’s “generic features, family resemblances, and structural interconnections” (Peck, et al., 2009: 51-2) often give an impression of monolithic ubiquity. Yet no two neoliberal formations are manifest concretely in exactly the same way. Structure and contingency operate simultaneously as neoliberal redevelopment unfolds in accordance to both place-specific structures and the broader-scale socio-political conditions and rhythms of capital accumulation (see Pred, 1984). The literature on neoliberal redevelopment governance, however, has predominantly focused on addressing its spatial contingency and variegation between different cities (see Keil, 2002; MacLeod, 2002; Wilson, 2004a). Alternatively, the essence of its temporal contingency remains comparatively less explored. Although the evolving character of redevelopment governances is increasingly acknowledged (see Brenner and Theodore, 2002b; Peck, et al., 2009; Brenner, et al., 2010a, b), there remains a dearth of empirical studies that uncover the place- specific complexities of this evolving process (Peck and Tickell, 2007). This is not, as Peck (2010b: 20) asserts, a “matter of calling contingent exceptions” but “key to understanding the process itself,” of its spatially and temporally variegated unfolding and form of development. This study contributes toward filling this vacuum by examining the temporal dimension of neoliberal redevelopment governance in one prototypical “rust belt” neoliberal city: Chicago, Illinois. It empirically explores this formations post-1989 unfolding, in its composition and dominant attributes,2 and answers Peck and Tickell’s (2007: 48) call for “historical-geographies” of the neoliberal project “that are sensitive” to its “constructed,” “contextual,” and “hybridized” form. In the process, the study provides a specific focus on the contemporary redevelopment of 2 Although these two temporal markers (1989 and 2005) are specific to Chicago, they also reflect a similar and more general trajectory experienced in many other cities. While the roll-out period may have emerged at different moments in different cities, it has nonetheless emerged in all of them. 2 Chicago’s “historic” south-side neighborhood of Bronzeville (Fig. 1.1). 2005 is revealed as a key temporal marker, the transition point between two distinct periods of redevelopment governance in this particular urban setting: what I call the “roll-out” (1989-2005) and “roll-with-it” (2005- present) periods of neoliberal governance. The Neoliberalization of Urban Governance Following Peck and Tickell (2002), the term neoliberalization highlights the contextually-specific “path-dependency” and “path-shaping” capacity of what has essentially been a process of capitalist restructuring unfolding at a variety of inter-connected spatial scales (Swyngedouw, 1997; Brenner and Theodore, 2002a; Brenner, 2004; Brenner, et al., 2010a, b).

    Chicago’s Evolving City Council Chicago City Council Report #9 June 17, 2015 – March 29, 2017 Authored By: Dick Simpson Maureen Heffern Ponicki Allyson Nolde Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science May 17, 2017 2 Since Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the new Chicago City Council were sworn in two years ago, there have been 67 divided roll call votes or roughly three per month. A divided roll call vote is not unanimous because at least one or more aldermen votes against the mayor and his administration. The rate of divided roll call votes – twice the rate in Emanuel’s first four year term – combined with an increase in the number of aldermen voting against the mayor – are indications that the aldermen are becoming more independent. Clearly, the city council is less of a predictable “rubber stamp” than it was during Mayor Richard M. Daley’s 22 years and Emanuel’s first four year term from 2011-2015. However, this movement away from an absolute rubber stamp is small and city council is only glacially evolving. The increase in aldermanic independence is confirmed by a downward trend in the vote agreement with the mayor, with only five aldermen voting with him 100% of the time and another 22 voting with him 90%. The number of aldermen voting with the mayor less than 90% of the time on divided votes has risen to 23 over the last two years. Aldermen are also more willing to produce their own legislation and proposed solutions to critical city problems than in the past rather than wait for, or to clear their proposals with, the 5th floor.

  • In Response to a Recent Outbreak of Gang Warfare Violence at the Robert
    In response to a recent outbreak of gang warfare violence at the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago that left ten people dead over a weekend, the Director of the Chicago Housing Authority, Vincent Lane, wanted to have the Chicago police conduct a warrantless sweep search of the Taylor Homes, and to require residents to agree to such searches as a condition in their housing leases. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) has challenged the constitutionality of the sweep search Director Lane wanted. The ACLU also indicated that it would vigorously challenge in court any policy of the Chicago Housing Authority that makes agreement to warrantless searches a condition of living in public housing. Under the circumstances prevailing at the Robert Taylor Homes would warrantless police sweep searches of tenants' apartments be morally justifiable? ANSWER: No: This is a difficult question that requires balancing the fundamental interest of public housing residents in security from life threatening violent criminal behavior and their basic moral right to privacy in their homes. In this case it seems that the balance must be struck in favor of the right of privacy. Given the widespread possession and easy availability of guns in the United States, it is uncertain how effective warrantless sweep searches would be, even if done frequently. On the other hand, the searches would have to be very thorough and intrusive in light of the ease with which a person can hide a gun. The situation at the Robert Taylor Homes is tragic and frightening, but dispensing with a warrant requirement for searches of apartment is not an ethically appropriate response to it.

  • "Tarred with the Exceptional Image": Public Housing and Popular Discourse, 1950-1990
    "Tarred with the Exceptional Image": Public Housing and Popular Discourse, 1950-1990 A. Scott Henderson I In 1986, readers of a major news magazine learned about Desire, a New Orleans housing project. Presumably open to all of New Orleans' "poor people," most of Desire's residents—as the text and photographs made clear—were African-Americans. Out of the project's population of 7,800, almost 3,000 were children, some of whom represented a "third generation of poverty " characterized by an "inexorable cycle of crime, welfare dependency and dimmed hopes." Moreover, Desire was a "world without order, cleanliness, privacy or parental supervision," where school drop-outs, teenage fathers, and unwed mothers were common. But if Desire conformed to a grim yet all too familiar image of public housing, its residents' behaviors, which included "violence," drug use, and random sex, were identified as the chief causes.1 While Desire typified the image of public housing presented by the periodi­ cal press in the 1980s, the issues of race and tenant behavior had not always framed depictions of housing projects. Between 1950 and the early 1960s,afairly positive conception of low-income subsidized housing dominated popular cov­ erage, a dialogue that stressed slum clearance and the dearth of affordable housing. By the late 1960s, though, a highly problematic image—based largely on race—had come to dominate the popular press, obscuring alternative represen­ tations that would have more accurately depicted the range and variety of public housing throughout America. Indeed, national datafor 1989 indicated that public housing was neither racially monolithic (one out of every three units was 0026-3079/93/3601-031$! .50/0 31 classified as white), nor occupied primarily by welfare recipients (35 percent reported wages and 45 percent reported social security/pensions as income sources).

MODERNISM ON TRIAL: AN ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION DEBATES IN CHICAGO Stephen M. Mitchell 119 Pages May 2014 This thesis explores preservation issues regarding modernist architecture in Chicago. As urban and public history research, the project examines the new questions brought to the forefront by recent controversies over the preservation of modernist architecture. Modernism, and an “all concrete” variant known as “Brutalism,” popular in the mid-twentieth century, aimed to remove ornament and historical references common in neoclassical, neo-Gothic, Beaux Arts, and Art Deco architecture and replace them with minimal, clean, glass-and-steel buildings. Modernists who, on principle, did not believe in preservation of past forms are now in the unlikely position of making such an argument for their own buildings. Never widely embraced in the first place, Brutalism’s concrete façades seemed less and less to reflect aesthetic tastes as architects turned back toward historicist styles by the 1980s.
