SUMMARY:Chicago Today: Effects of Redlining and Urban Renewal
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nCities change their structural space and are a part of globalization\, but how does this affect residents across a city? This two-part session discusses the challenges of urban growth\, both in the past and present by centering on our third largest city\, Chicago. The first part focuses on the effects of redlining in Chicago and showcases a student research project. This project requires students to conduct preliminary research using the HOLC maps from University of Richmond’s Mapping Inequality website. From there\, students explore seven major effects of redlining that affect residents today. The effects include displacement\, education\, health\, and the wealth gap. The second part discusses the major changes occurring in Chicago’s central business district as a means to revitalize the urban core. With many downtowns struggling with occupancy since the height of Covid\, the City of Chicago voted to develop the LaSalle Street Reimagined Initiative. Maps\, videos\, and information are used to demonstrate \nSession Focus\nSecondary/High School | Curriculum and Instruction | Redlining\, Urban Renewal\, Urban Land Use \nConference Room\nFlannigan \nMeet the Presenter\nJeanne Shin-Cooper has been a public high school educator for twenty years.
