Scenarios about 'Robert Taylor Homes'
A massive public housing project built in Chicago between 1962-1962, once the largest in the United States with 28 sixteen-story buildings housing approximately 27,000 residents. The complex became synonymous with concentrated urban poverty, crime, and infrastructure neglect, serving as a powerful case study of failed public housing policy in America before its complete demolition between 1998 and 2007. The Taylor Homes' legacy continues to influence discussions about racial segregation, urban planning, and public housing alternatives.
