Here's the Deal

The Making and Breaking of a Great American City

Beschreibung

The plan was to transform Block 37 - an area of "urban commercial blight" - into a glittering tower that would not only be architecturally worth of its neighbors, but would also throw off millions of tax and rental dollars annually. "Here's the Deal" is the intricately told tale of how that plan failed, leaving the city of Chicago with 2 million empty square feet of office space and a pocket book $200 million dollars lighter.
