The city of Chicago has recently experienced significant growth in terms of residential and service sector development in the downtown area. However, at the same time, several parts of the core city continue to suffer from decline, as indicated by loss of population and employment, and associated concentration of disadvantage. The latest initiative to address such urban decline, the federal Empowerment Zone initiative, has been in operation since 1994, and it has brought a number of positive effects. However, one aspect of the initiative that was highlighted by the federal government--that of community involvement--has proved disappointing. While the level of involvement in the strategy development stage of the Chicago Empowerment Zone was high, this inclusive approach was not carried forward to the implementation phase. This has serious implications for the potential longer-term success of the Zone, as well as for similar area-based regeneration initiatives in other contexts
