Report examines how Chicago is blending together key ingredients for success in the surrounding neighborhoods -- namely quality schools, well-designed community spaces and ample economic development.
Throughout 2004, MPC and the John D. and Catherine T.
MacArthur Foundation, in coordination with the Chicago Housing Authority, hosted
a series of panel discussions as part of a "Building Successful Mixed-Income
Communities" forum.
Recapping and expanding on lessons learned through these
forums, MPC's December 2004 CHA
progress report focuses on the creation of
opportunities in the neighborhoods
around
mixed-income sites, in the form
of quality schools and education, economic development (through commerce/retail
and job creation), and adequate parks, community centers and recreational
facilities.
While the CHA is at the center of the Plan
for Transformation, this report looks at the essential work of key partners and
sister agencies.
