Download iCal FileJoin Daniel Kay Hertz, author of The Battle of Lincoln Park: Urban Renewal and Gentrification in Chicago, as he tells the story of how people with clashing visions and values fought to determine the path "gentrification" would take before anyone was using that word. Calling on the power of private funds, public policy, moral appeals, and both violent and nonviolent protest, residents of Old Town and Lincoln Park struggled over the meaning of "desirable" homes, "neighborhood character" and what kind of city Chicago should be.
