What's the bungalow belt and Dunning going to look like after Daley and Banks? Here's what I think fans: Chicago's bungalow belt is obsolete. Yep, bedroom communities surrounding a central hub where all the work was is going away. That suburban-style model largely served an economy built on fossil-fueled manufacturing and cars. Where's the new work going to be? It's going to be more localized. Modern technologies combined with the desire for environmentally cleaner and more healthy lifestyles is going to foster more community entrepreneurialism. Of course, how well this proceeds is going to depend on the amount of recognition and support provided by civic leadership.
