Part 3 - Be an East Side Urban Planner
Now that you have some information about the history of the East Side and the people who are part of the community, it is time to think about the future! The former site of U.S. Steel is located on the shores of Lake Michigan. Working as part of a team, you will create a plan for this remarkable parcel of property. In order to understand the site better, we will take a field trip and tour the site under the direction of Alderwoman Susan Sadlowski Garza. We will be joined by Gabrielle Lyon from the Chicago Architecture Foundation and Katanya Henry of CMAP (Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning).
