For many years Chicagos looming largescale housing projects defined the city, and their demolition and redevelopmentvia the Chicago Housing Authoritys Plan for Transformationhas been perhaps the most startling change in the citys urban landscape in the last twenty years. The Plan, which reflects a broader policy effort to remake public housing in cities across the country, seeks to deconcentrate poverty by transforming highpoverty public housing complexes into mixedincome developments and thereby integrating onceisolated public housing residents into the social and economic fabric of the city. But is the Plan an ambitious example of urban regeneration or a notsoveiled effort at gentrification?In the most thorough examination of mixedincome public housing redevelopment to date, Robert J. Chaskin and Mark L. Joseph draw on five years of field research, indepth interviews, and volumes of data to demonstrate that while considerable progress has been made in transforming the complexes physically, the integrationist goals of the policy have not been met. They provide a highly textured investigation into what it takes to design, finance, build, and populate a mixedincome development, and they illuminate the many challenges and limitations of the policy as a solution to urban poverty. Timely and relevant, Chaskin and Josephs findings raise concerns about the increased privatization of housing for the poor while providing a wide range of recommendations for a better way forward.
