Lincoln Park Community Research Initiative



Spring and Fall Programs


In order to raise awareness in the Research Initiative and to promote donations to the archives and participation in research projects, the Initiative sponsors Fall and Spring programs each year. The programs focus on some aspect of life in Lincoln Park, which is a part of our shared history.

Join us for our Spring 2006 Program!

The Politics of Place:
Impact of Zoning on Lincoln Park Development

Wednesday, May 3, 2006


Presented by
Joseph P. Schwieterman, Ph.D.
Director and Professor, Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development, DePaul University

Hear Joseph P. Schwieterman, transportation and land use expert and author of The Politics of Place: A History of Zoning in Chicago, tell the story of Lincoln Park community development through the lens of zoning. This story involves the challenge of grand visions facing political realities, and the resulting neighborhood we have today.

Paul Meincke, Reporter, WLS-TV/Channel 7, and comments from
Tom Smith, Duncan Associates and former City of Chicago zoning administrator.
