The Next City:

“What Happens When Developers, Scientists and Super-Computers Connect on Urban Design

BY REBECCA TUHUS-DUBROW | NEXT CITY | DECEMBER 16, 2014

On Chicago’s Southeast Side lie the ramshackle remnants of a U.S. Steel plant, shuttered and abandoned in 1992. Now, plans are underway for a huge mixed-use development, called Chicago Lakeside, on that precious lakefront property. The project calls for 13,575 residential units, millions of square feet of commercial real estate, extensive parkland and a high school. It is expected to take decades to complete.”

“American cities have bigger things to worry about than gentrification

By Ben Adler on 15 Dec 2014

To read the popular press, you’d think that America’s suburban era is over, fully replaced by a fashion for living in inner-cities. The constant stories in leading national publications like The Atlantic and The New York Times, document the artist and young professional-led revival of the latest impoverished New York neighborhood, the flowers blooming in an unlikely Rust Belt bastion like Pittsburgh, or even the signs of hope in hopeless Detroit.”

Detroit Super Division

"contemporary vacancy calls for an inverse strategy of ‘Superdivision’: a scaling up occupied territory and repurposing of unused infrastructure."
