DOWNLOAD EBOOKChicago is celebrated for its rich diversity, but, even more than most US cities, it is also plagued by segregation and extreme inequality. More than ever, Chicago is a “dual city,” a condition taken for granted by many residents. In this book, Joel Rast reveals that today’s tacit acceptance of rising urban inequality is a marked departure from the past. For much of the twentieth century, a key goal for civic leaders was the total elimination of slums and blight. Yet over time, as anti-slum efforts faltered, leaders shifted the focus of their initiatives away from low-income areas and toward the upgrading of neighborhoods with greater economic promise. As misguided as postwar public housing and urban renewal programs were, they were born of a long-standing reformist impulse aimed at improving living conditions for people of all classes and colors across the city—something that can’t be said to be a true priority for many policymakers today. The Origins of the Dual City illuminates how we normalized and became resigned to living amid stark racial and economic divides.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In Urban Renewal or Urban Removal? learners will engage in the more troubling side of urban growth, development and gentrification to find out that people have confronted and resisted land/housing inequities and displacement since the beginnings of Chicago. In presenting a grassroots look at Chicago's land grabs and the struggle for home and community, the voices and writings of affected residents are valued most. You'll see Chicago's history through their eyes, feel their pains of displacement, and witness their courageous struggles for housing rights and community justice. It is a story more real today than ever before as Chicago continues to "gentrify" while residents continue to be displaced. What will become of Chicago? Who will live here? What can be done to keep our city affordable for present and future generations?"--Publisher's website.
