AREA Chicago #6: City As Lab
A Local Reader on Experimental Policies on the Ground in Chicago

In this issue of AREA Chicago we have attempted to look at Chicago as a policy laboratory in which experimental public policy in the areas of housing, labor and education are tested on the residents of Chicago.

The articles in this issue attempt to trace a lineage of Chicago's prominent policy experiments and its policy designers. The issue focuses on several case studies, including the complicated transformation of our local economy and public school system. These case studies focus on how Chicagoans are pushed to the limits and what kind of responses that has elicited from activists.
