A baker's-dozen of insight crammed into one ring.
Summary
Chicago has made notable progress in advancing equitable transit-oriented development (ETOD) on the South and West sides, five years after adopting a 2021 framework under former Mayor Lori Lightfoot. The plan aims to spur development near public transit in historically disinvested neighborhoods while preventing displacement. While progress has been achieved, the report indicates more work remains to fully realize development goals in these areas.
