We are delighted to welcome you to our campus and to our beautiful city. I congratulate UHA Executive Director Timothy Neary, and UHA President and Professor of History at Loyola, Timothy Gilfoyle, for their hard work — and that of so many others — to bring this 8th Biennial conference to fruition. This conference is truly global in scope, and the diversity of tours, workshops, roundtables and more that have been planned for you will surely advance the study of the history of the city in important ways. The Association’s valuable mission to stimulate urban study and research is underscored by Loyola University’s inextricable link with the history of the city of Chicago. And so, we are glad you are here. Please enjoy the conference, our campus and the city of Chicago. Sincerely, Jo Ann Rooney, JD, LLM, EdD President Loyola University Chicago 2 Welcome to the Conference By Timothy Gilfoyle, UHA President Welcome to Chicago! As 2015-16 President of the Urban History Association, I want to welcome you to the Eighth Biennial UHA Conference, the largest and hopefully the most exciting ever. Over four days, the conference will be home to approximately 650 urban historians, writers, scholars and journalists from six continents, 40 states, the District of Columbia and a dozen countries, including Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and South Korea. More than ever, the UHA is a transnational and international institution. Conference participants will be involved in more than 150 panels, plenaries, roundtables, and tours during their four days in Chicago. The conference theme – The Working Urban – highlights the importance of the varieties of labor in urban history and the multiple ways urban historians define their own work. The program reflects that diversity with more than 30 panels devoted to workshops, roundtables, plenaries and book discussions, while paying special attention to topics marking the anniversaries of events that profoundly influenced cities, including Martin Luther King’s campaign to “End Slums” in Chicago, the Immigration Act of 1965 and the 100th birthday of Jane Jacobs. Most of you have visited Chicago. But the weather is often less than hospitable (January for the American Historical Association annual meeting). I hope you can spend some time exploring the city. Walk in any direction from our conference site. Within 45 minutes you can see the first glass box skyscrapers designed by Mies van der Rohe in the U.S., the oldest apartments or “French Flats” in Chicago, Hugh Hefner’s original Playboy mansion, the bullet marks on Holy Name Cathedral where Hymie Weiss was gunned down in 1926 by his gangland enemies, America’s first “vertical mall” in Water Tower Place, the great inland sea of North America (Lake Michigan), the “cathedral” of American evangelicalism at the Moody Bible Institute, the hotel where David Mamet wrote American Buffalo, and, of course, some of the few surviving structures of the great Chicago Fire of 1871: the Pumping Station and Water Tower on Michigan Avenue. All of us should give special thanks to Executive Director Timothy Neary for not only organizing this conference, but also moving the UHA into the 21st century with its new website (check it out at http://www.urbanhistory.org/); Nathan D.B. Connolly and Donna Murch for reading more panel and paper proposals than any other UHA program chairs

Loyola University Chicago is pleased to host the 2019 MWCBS in Chicago. Chicago is a world- class city that is second to none in every Chicagoan’s book.

The city is rich with historic sites from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and also boasts access to a host of excellent bars, restaurants, breweries, live music, and sporting events for the curious traveler to sample. Many of these sites are located within walking distance of the Hampton Inn Chicago North—Loyola Station or are just a short taxi ride away.

  • Oct 30Th – Nov 2Nd
    OCT 30TH – NOV 2ND Welcome to the 6th Annual NACTO Designing Cities Conference! NACTO is a space for us to collaborate with peers, celebrate successes, and commiserate about challenges. Without question, this October, this space is more important than ever. The landscape we face in 2017 demands the clear-eyed vision and grounded pragmatism that distinguishes NACTO cities. We have major headwinds and opportunities ahead of us: from autonomous vehicle design and regulation to a soaring number of national traffic fatalities – 37,461 people killed in 2016 – that continue to serve as a sobering reminder of the urgency of our work. We know from experience the power of our shared strength. We’re all here together in Chicago because we care deeply about safe streets, about vibrant public space, and about equitable and sustainable cities. And the work that we’re all doing to make public spaces welcoming and streets accessible to everyone – in cities across the country and world – is beyond measure. From Atlanta to Nashville to Pittsburgh, cities are investing in reliable transit and sustainable transportation, recognizing that physical mobility determines economic and social mobility, and well-designed streets comprise the social fabric of urban places. Streets are important, and not just to us. This past year, we’ve been reminded anew of the fundamental importance of streets as places of public discourse and civic engagement. From the 4 million people who joined the Women’s March in cities from DC to Denver to Detroit, to the thousands of people participating in CicLAvia in a demonstration of community and joy in my own town of Los Angeles – streets play a central role in our cities.

  • Here Is a Ticket Agent at This Station with Limited Availability (Fridays 6:05 A.M
    ! Welcome to the South Shore Line (SSL) commuter rail service serving Northwest Indiana and Northeast Illinois. The SSL serves a total of 19 stations, of which 13 are wheelchair-accessible. On weekdays the SSL runs 43 trains, and on weekends and holidays it runs 20 trains. South Bend Airport The South Bend Airport is the easternmost station along the South Shore Line. The boarding platform is a high-level platform allowing for wheelchair accessibility. There is a ticket agent at this station with limited availability (Fridays 6:05 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. and weekends 6:05 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.). Paid parking is available at this station. Transpo bus service serving South Bend also makes stops at the South Bend Airport at the opposite end of the terminal from the SSL station for those needing connecting service. Hudson Lake The Hudson Lake Station is a low-level boarding station and is therefore not wheelchair- accessible. This is a flag stop station so a button must be pressed to activate the strobe light that would indicate to trains to stop for passenger pickup. Passengers who wish to depart the train at this station should notify their conductor at the time they are collecting tickets. There are no ticket vending machines available to purchase tickets at this station so tickets must be purchased either on the app or with cash from the conductors. Free parking is available to passengers at this station. Carroll Avenue The Carroll Avenue Station is a low-level boarding station; however, Carroll Avenue is equipped with a mobile wheelchair lift therefore allowing for wheelchair access.
