188 - Regional Spotlight Session. City on the Remake? Gentrification and Urban Change in Chicago

Session Submission Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Is Chicago remaking itself? What are the key trends? What questions need to be addressed? This session examines urban change and gentrification in Chicago from a variety of angles—public housing redevelopment, the pace of gentrification, race and residential selection, cultural change, and the great crime decline. Panelists will present their research and ideas on the topic and will provoke a discussion on the implications for Chicago and cities more broadly.
