Growth, Shrinkage, Reinvention: Weekend Workshop in Ford Heights, IL
Who: Ford Heights Weekend Workshop
What: Ford Heights was first incorporated in 1949, a fairly late point in time compared to its neighboring towns. Its first inhabitants had squatted on swampy ground adjacent to the town of Chicago Heights, near a Ford Motors stamping plant that supplied the tax base for the new town. In the 1950s or early 60s, the stamping plant was rezoned to fall within Chicago Heights, leaving Ford Heights with little funding for its schools and other town services.
As flooding of Deer Creek, one of myriad small waterways cutting through the Calumet corridor, has increased over the past decade and homes have been affected, the town has seen 50% population loss. Despite its fragile economic and demographic status, however, it is part of the Lincoln Highway Corridor Strategic Plan, a transportation development plan based around a freight rail line that runs through Ford Heights. It was recently chosen by CMAP (Chicago Metropolitan Association for Planning) to be the subject of a comprehensive urban plan, to include environmental management, economic development and future goals.
Building on collaborations in 2017 and 18, this weekend workshop will pair UIC Urban Planning Students with Sustainability Management (Columbia University) and Landscape Architecture (IIT) students to visit, learn about, analyze and brainstorm opportunities for Ford Heights according to three possible scenarios: embracing shrinkage, restoring growth or reinventing the city as a hub for the kind of ecosystems and infrastructural services that can make the region more resilient to climate-driven and other disruptions.
