New developments are coming to Uptown — but not without some community pushback.

Uptown is one of Chicago’s most diverse communities — and it's home to a few icons in Chicago’s music scene -- including the Green Mill and Aragon Ballroom, as well as many social service organizations. Like many neighborhoods, the area faces gentrification. We’ll talk with community leaders about planned luxury apartments coming to the area and a nonprofit that provides housing for women.
