Chicago City Tours

2:15 PM 4:00 PM 1. Bronzeville: A Tale of Transformation Chicagos Bronzeville was once the center of cultural and social life for Chicagos African-American community, with gracious homes and apartments lining broad boulevards. In the late 20th century, the community fell on hard times and its housing became characterized by looming high rise public housing buildings. The citys Plan for Transformation of public housing, which is replacing the high rise tenements with mixed-income, privately owned developments combined with the redevelopment efforts of the Quad Cities Community Development Corporation, is successfully restoring this beautiful community to a vibrant destination. Tour highlights will include: A tour of Oakwood Shores, the largest of the mixed income developments which replaced approximately 1000 occupied public housing units Tour of Center for Working Families at the CARA Program A visual tour of the new schools, businesses and cultural amenities that are returning to Bronzeville Visit to a local business reinvigorated by community development efforts Meeting with community and elected leadership 2. Little Village/Pilsen: Inclusion Yields Vitality Chicago, like many other of the nations most vibrant cities, is a city of immigrants whose contributions to its urban fabric are manifold. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Little Village/Pilsen corridor, where immigrants from Mexico have rendered the 26th Street shopping district second only to the Citys famed Michigan Avenue. Tour participants will have the opportunity to personally meet with residents and business leaders in the community and view the schools, parks and businesses that demonstrate the value of successfully immigrant integration. This tour will be led by Enlace, a non-profit community organization based in Little Village that works to improve conditions through a preventative and proactive approach that strengthens families, the neighborhood and the city. Tour highlights will include: 26th Street business district and meeting with representatives from the Little Village Chamber of Commerce Tour of the new Little Village Lawndale High School campus Visits to new parks and community gardens that have been developed on former industrial sites 3. River North/ Goose Island Renewal Chicagos River North neighborhood was first developed as a manufacturing and warehouse district with only modest areas of housing and commercial uses along its inland edges. As manufacturing declined in the central city, however, much industrial loft space in River North became obsolete, leaving a sleepy corridor with empty lots bounded by scores of under-utilized warehouses. Today, new tech industries and the remaking of Cabrini Green have created a new node for business, manufacturing, retail and residential living in this near north side community. This tour was organized by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation/Chicago (LISC). Tour highlights will include: Chicago/Kingsbury Corridor, showcasing the redevelopment of the western portion of the Near North community with commercial and residential uses that provide a cohesive and distinct mixed-use identity Goose Island, now a Planned Manufacturing District, contains a 26-acre Industrial Park, Goose Island Brewery and Wrigleys Global Innovation Center Parkside of Old Town, a multi-unit, 18-acre mixed-income housing development on the site of the former Cabrini-Green housing project Meeting with elected and community leadership 2011 Fall National Meeting October 11-12, 2011 Chicago, IL #CEOsforCities

4. Urban Agriculture Chicagos west side neighborhoods suffered from decades of abandon, not only by landlords but by banks, grocers and other necessary investors. With local ingenuity and leadership, community leaders from the west side have spent years not only building housing and schools but meeting the needs of the community for open space and fresh foods. Visiting the neighborhoods of Englewood, West Haven, East Garfield Park and North Lawndale, this tour will show the varied and creative ways in which community leaders have addressed the food desert by providing fresh foods, jobs and a new sense of community for all. This tour will be led by leaders from the Near West Side Community Development Corporation which works to create a viable, mixedincome community in West Haven without the displacement of low and moderate income residents Tour highlights will include: Growing Home-The Wood Street Urban Farm, where on only 2/3 of an acre, residents grow approximately 11,000 pounds of produce Westhaven Park Community Garden & Park, created in 2009 by new homeowners and residents to take advantage of open land on the property and create a shared community space in the mixed-income community New Horizon Garden, an innovative, sustainable community garden planned for East Garfield Park Fresh Moves Mobile Grocery Store, a renovated CTA bus turned traveling supermarket that brings fresh groceries directly to the communities that need them most Meetings with elected and community leaders
