The document summarizes the history of gentrification and anti-gentrification efforts in the Wicker Park and Pilsen neighborhoods of Chicago. In Wicker Park, residents were initially told to cooperate with developers for affordable housing, but development led to rising rents. In Pilsen, residents confronted developers and planners more directly through protests and disruptions, and most new development has been community-oriented with affordable rents maintained. The document suggests community informatics like media can counter developers' rhetoric against residents and empower communities, especially youth, to shape their own narratives rather than rely on dominant power structures.
