Housing
The Future of Chicago's Most Infamous Public Housing Project
The Chicago Housing Authority has unveiled its redevelopment plan for Cabrini-Green.
Little remains of Chicago's Cabrini-Green, a mid-century public housing complex once home to as many as 15,000 people. The poorly maintained high rises, rife with gang violence, were eventually demolished (the final one came down in 2011). Today, only low-rise units and dozens of acres of vacant land remain.
The Chicago Housing Authority hopes to see it all redeveloped soon.
