Chicago is a city of neighborhoods with obvious barriers in railroads, high-speed roadways, dead-end streets and vacant land, as well as less visible economic, cultural and racial barriers.
The Bronzeville Getdown project crosses these obstacles physically, culturally and economically by creating a building that serves as infrastructure, architecture and opportunity. The proposed facility plugs a gap in the city’s transit network with a new transportation center and offers opportunities to young entrepreneurs as a business and arts incubator.
