Preservation in the Time of Development Pressure

How can communities across Chicago grapple with preserving the best of their built environments in the face of growing pressure for new housing development and the up-zoning that would facilitate it? Ward Miller, the Richard H. Driehaus Executive Director of Preservation Chicago, will address this critical issue of the day as well as review his organization’s current list of the most endangered structures in Chicago.

The program is free to the public, and light refreshments will be served. No reservations are required. (Eventbrite)
