Chicago\u2019s demolished public housing projects are \u2018mythic spaces\u2019 that continue to shape the city, says Ben Austen \u201993, in a new book.<\/h3>\n

SHAPING CHICAGO: Austen, a Windy City native and a former editor at Harper\u2019s, argues that the city\u2019s infamous housing projects continue to shape the environment, even after their demise. (Photo: Fritz Goro\/The LIFE Premium Collection\/Getty Images)<\/p><\/div>\n

Chicago public housing and its troubles have been a journalistic focal point for decades, generating a slew of news coverage, books, and magazine articles about all that\u2019s wrong with \u201cthe projects.\u201d In 2000, then Chicago Mayor Richard Daley launched a $1.6 billion project to rehabilitate or redevelop 25,000 units of public housing. Nearly two decades later, despite some rebuilding, there\u2019s been a vast reduction of permanently affordable rental homes, and an increase in vouchers that subsidize rent in the private housing market. The changes, moreover, have largely reinforced racial and economic segregation rather than paving the way for greater housing opportunities in well-to-do neighborhoods in the city and its suburbs.<\/p>\n

In February, writer and Chicago native\u00a0Ben Austen<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0\u201993 published\u00a0High-Risers: Cabrini-Green and the Fate of American Public Housing<\/em>\u00a0(HarperCollins), the first general-audience book about the history and residents of Cabrini-Green. Told through the eyes of four long-time residents who called the development home, it\u2019s a requiem to a civic monument that may be erased from the city\u2019s skyline, but has continued to shape Chicago nonetheless.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think my book chronicles our thinking about the inner city, and our always uneasy relationship to poverty and race,\u201d says Austen. \u201cCabrini-Green is not a place just to be razed and forgotten, like we\u2019re done with this thing. We\u2019re not. We\u2019re literally not done with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019re a Chicago native\u2014a \u201cSouth Sider\u201d\u2014but, growing up in the South Shore and Hyde Park neighborhoods, lived a life quite distant from those of the people you write about. How does that affect your view of Cabrini-Green, and public housing in general?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2010, when the last tower was coming down, for someone who grew up here, it was like: what does that mean? Not just 23 towers in Cabrini-Green, but across the entire city. Because they loomed so large in the public imagination, these mythic spaces. They\u2019re as much a part of the city as the lake, Michael Jordan, Oprah. Being a South Sider even increased the mythic aspect of Cabrini-Green. People on the South Side, white and black, talked about Cabrini-Green [on the near North Side] as way worse and more nightmarish than the Robert Taylor Homes, which were on the South Side, because that made the Taylor homes more familiar.<\/p>\n

How did you settle on the four people who became the main characters in this story?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we think of this development of 20,000 people, we mostly think of the crime and drug use that came to define it, but the range of experiences that went on there\u2014it was an entire town on 70 acres of land. The people I write about are ordinary people, but also extraordinary in their perseverance and their willingness to take action. These are the people who gave me their time, but their stories drew me to them. They were engaged in a kind of fight, not only to stay in public housing but to make life better there. None of those lives are free of the ill effects of public housing but they\u2019re full of taking action and attempts to define their own lives despite it all. That\u2019s powerful.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think the people whose lives get told in this book are representative, that they embody every life, but they do have a fullness of experience and have a lot of agency, and I think in a novelistic way they come to life in a way that defies a lot of simplistic notions of public housing, of poverty, of inner-city Chicago.<\/p>\n

Alex Kotlowitz\u2019s\u00a0There Are No Children Here<\/em>, the last mass-market book about Chicago public housing by a journalist, was cited extensively in the 1990s as an example of why public housing should be done away with. Have you thought about the possible reverberations\u00a0High-Risers<\/em>could have in policy and politics?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Empathy and less irrational fear lead to better policies. But a dramatic telling of someone\u2019s life doesn\u2019t necessarily offer an easy prescription for those solutions. Alex\u2019s book reminds me of Jacob Riis\u2019s\u00a0How the Other Half Lives<\/em>: it was a revelation to readers that this is going on in our country. His book is very much an\u00a0I Accuse . . . !<\/em>, a \u201cCan you believe this?\u201d He\u2019s embedded with an individual family as things are happening. But the towers were torn down and the concentrated poverty and isolation of public housing didn\u2019t go away\u2014they were moved elsewhere. In my book, I\u2019m both wrestling with those changes and interviewing people about the past events of their lives. Cabrini-Green becomes the magnet for all the fears our society has about the inner city. I\u2019m writing in that context. If we start thinking about how unfair and unearned most of those fears are, then hopefully we can make better policy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”25px” image_repeat=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1558456935194{border-top-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 10px !important;border-top-color: #999999 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}”]<\/p>\n
