SAYING ‘YES’ TO WHAT?: YIMBY and Urban Redevelopment in Chicago

Winifred Curran

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 2022, vol. 46, issue 2, 296-300

Abstract: Using examples from Chicago, this intervention questions some of the basic assumptions of the YIMBY movement about housing density, supply, and affordability and argues instead that the push to build at higher densities in certain profitable areas of the city is a legacy of the city's historic and continued segregation.
