A brief, cogent analysis of gentrification in Chicago . . . An incisive and useful narrative on the puzzle of urban development (Kirkus).

In the years after World War II, a movement began to bring the middle class back to the Lincoln Park neighborhood on Chicago's North Side. In place of the old, poorly maintained apartments and dense streetscapes, rehabbers imagined a new kind of neighborhood--a modern community that combined the convenience, diversity, and character of a historic urban quarter with the prosperity and privileges of a new subdivision.
