Chapter Chapter 6 in Neoliberal Urban Governance, 2023, pp 125-157 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter describes Chicago’s principal urban redevelopment projects during the period of analysis, including the Planned Manufacturing Districts (PMD) zoning deregulations, the Paseo rails-to-trails project, and the demolition of Crawford coal-fired power plant. In parallel, this governance has mobilized a powerful rhetoric for the southwest side that has begun to refashion these neighborhoods and nearby blocks to support Chicago’s neoliberal global agenda. Each of these initiatives have exercised significant market pressures on the community of Pilsen and its neighbor to the west, the community of Little Village.
