New challenges are shaping the contemporary North American urban landscape. Accelerating social transformations and environmental threats unfold in most major cities, whilst coping with their growth and expansion. In Chicago, a new wave of large-scale private developments are being introduced as a powerful force towards addressing these new challenges. There, by employing comprehensive design frameworks, parks can be designed as tools to tackle these threats.Chicago attracts new residents to its Central Area, one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the U.S. Limited availability of land in this district is pushing new urban developments to its boundaries towards the city's historical neighborhoods. Several large-scale projects are being developed adjacent to historical Black American communities. These actions face serious consequences to Chicago's currently fragile urban landscape. Like the Bronzeville Lakefront development, large-scale private developments are seen as feasable alternatives in meeting the growing demand for new urban landscapes in Chicago's Central Area. The city's large number of abandoned industrial yards, legacy of Chicago's industrial past, supply large and attractive sites for private capitals to invest and develop. Considering the scale of these interventions, local city authorities have tightened reviewing processes for new developments. However, no concrete objective design and assessment standards have been established so far. Through current assessment mechanisms, local authorities focus on the building stock, overlooking parks and public spaces. Parks are critical for optimal social and environmental development of Chicago.My research introduces seven public-space centered frameworks aimed at assessing and designing parks in these developments. These frameworks are constructed through a case study analysis of a selection of parks currently performing as agents of positive impact while managing the challenges and threats seen in growing North American cities. My work aims to harness Chicago's urban growth to better address the context of local social and urban crisis, as well as a global climate emergency. It argues the processes of shaping these developments should focus on the design of their park landscapes. Ultimately, it expresses faith in the ability of private capitals to collaborate with city authorities, communities, and designers in shaping the future urban landscape.
