Throughout Chicago, neighborhood leaders like Roman, real-estate brokers and developers are massing forces for a ward-by-ward turf war as the city prepares to plot new zoning rules in more than 100 square miles of residential blocks. It will be the first decree since 1957 of what types of buildings can go where across the entire city.
The remapping process is expected to take three years and involve dozens of community meetings. The character of city neighborhoods is at stake in this debate of old versus new, affordable and modest houses versus grand and pricey condos, longtime neighbors versus yuppie newcomers.
