dc.description.abstract | At the intersection of Division and Halsted on Chicago’s North Side, the Cabrini Green White Walls development was completed in 1962 as part of the urban renewal movement. Cheap construction methods and poor maintenance took their toll on the towers and in 1995 demolition of the eight towers began. Once a center of gang violence and social problems, Cabrini Green has been reduced to one tower, nicknamed “Scamplife” by the residents, but it too is slated for abandonment and demolition. | |
