  • Muszynski, 2019-2020 1 HIGH RISE LIVING
    HIGH RISE LIVING: THE CHANGE IN CHICAGO DWELLING PATTERNS By Alexandra N. Muszynski Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of: BACHELOR OF ARTS IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND URBAN STUDIES AND PUBLIC POLICY at THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO Environmental and Urban Studies Preceptors: Damien Bright & Ilana Ventura Public Policy Preceptor: Nitika Jain Advisor: Linda Waite April 17, 2020 Muszynski, 2019-2020 1 Abstract According to the UN, 55% of people worldwide lived in urban areas as of 2018. Because of this boom in urban growth, it has become paramount to consider housing and provide dwelling solutions for a growing urban population. In most instances, developers look to high-rises in order to house the greatest number of people the most efficiently. There has been a boom in high-rise construction in the city of Chicago that has occurred within a single generation. However, developers do not give enough consideration to the social position of the high-rise. The city and its unique features are cultural objects that at once shape man and are shaped by man. It is because of this that I investigated the current distribution and social role of high-rises in the city, in order to better identify their location and the populations they currently serve. To create the maps, I first locate the shapefile of Chicago’s census tracts and merge it with the American Community Survey (ACS) 2019 data set using ArcGIS Online software. I use age, ethnicity, educational attainment, income and marriage status to better understand the populations that live in these buildings.
