- This dissertation examines the history of Cabrini-Green through the lens of placemaking. Cabrini-Green was one of the nation's most notorious public housing developments, known for sensational murders of police officers and children, and broadcast to the nation as a place to be avoided. Understanding Cabrini-Green as a place also requires appreciation for how residents created and defended their community. These two visions—Cabrini-Green as a primary example of a failed public housing program and architecture and Cabrini-Green as a place people called home—clashed throughout the site's history, but came into focus with its planned demolition in the Chicago Housing Authority's Plan for Transformation. Demolition and reconstruction of Cabrini-Green was supposed to create a model for public housing renewal in Chicago. But residents feared that this was simply an effort to remove them from valuable land on Chicago's Near North Side and deprive them of new neighborhood improvements. The imminent destruction of the CHA's high-rises uncovered desires to commemorate the public housing developments like Cabrini-Green and the people who lived there through a variety of public history and public art projects. This dissertation explores place from multiple perspectives including architecture, city planning, neighborhood development, and public and oral history. Understanding how Cabrini-Green became shorthand for failed program design while residents organized and fought to stay in the area provides a glimpse into possible futures of an emerging Chicago neighborhood. 本文通过地方营造的视角考察了卡布里尼格林的历史。卡布里尼格林是美国最臭名昭着的公共住房开发项目之一,以耸人听闻的警察和儿童谋杀而闻名,作为尽可能避免居住的地区而向全国广而告之。了解作为一个地域的卡布里尼格林还需要理解居民是如何创建和捍卫他们的社区的。这两个愿景:作为一个失败的公共住房规划的典型例子的卡布里尼格林以及作为一个被称为家的卡布里尼格林,在整个地区的历史中发生了冲突。但是,在芝加哥房屋委员会计划将其拆除并改建时,却重新引发了关注。卡布里尼格林的拆除和重建代表了芝加哥公共住房重建的一种模式。但居民担心,这只是为了将他们从芝加哥近郊的宝贵土地上搬走,并剥夺他们改善社区的机会。芝加哥住房委员会计划将卡布里尼格林的高层建筑拆毁的计划,反而激发了人们通过各种公共历史和公共艺术项目来纪念这项公共住房发展计划以及居住在那里的居民的愿望。本论文从建筑学、城市规划、社区发展、公共与口述历史等多个角度探讨了这个问题。了解卡布里尼格林如何成为失败规划的缩影,同时居民如何组织起来并争取留在该地区,可以窥见新兴芝加哥社区的未来。
