Description
For many years Chicago’s looming large-scale housing projects defined the city, and their demolition and redevelopment—by the use of the Chicago Housing Authority’s Plan for Transformation—has been most likely probably the most startling change in the city’s urban landscape in the last twenty years. The Plan, which reflects a broader policy effort to remake public housing in cities around the country, seeks to deconcentrate poverty by transforming high-poverty public housing complexes into mixed-source of revenue developments and thereby integrating once-isolated public housing residents into the social and economic fabric of the city. But is the Plan an ambitious example of urban regeneration or a not-so-veiled effort at gentrification?
In probably the most thorough examination of mixed-source of revenue public housing redevelopment so far, Robert J. Chaskin and Mark L. Joseph draw on five years of field research, in-depth interviews, and volumes of data to demonstrate that even as considerable progress has been made in transforming the complexes physically, the integrationist goals of the policy have not been met. They provide a highly textured investigation into what it takes to design, finance, build, and populate a mixed-source of revenue development, they usually light up the many challenges and limitations of the policy as a solution to urban poverty. Timely and relevant, Chaskin and Joseph’s findings raise concerns about the increased privatization of housing for the poor even as providing a variety of recommendations for a better way forward.
