January/February 1991 Chicago’s Urban Agenda 1991

As Chicago voters are faced with 1991 election choices for mayor, city clerk, city treasurer and 50 alderman, it is an appropriate time to look again at city issues.

The Chicago Council on Urban Affairs repeated its agenda-drafting process, this time drawing upon the expertise of more than 60 representative organization leaders who answered questionnaires and selected our seven top issues: Chicago’s Public Schools, Poverty, Health Care, Job Training and Employment, Affordable Housing, Criminal Justice, and Business and Economic Development.

These issues were further developed by more than 50 civic and community leaders who participated in 25 hours of detailed discussions and those who offered questions and comments at noontime forums. This is a document that highlights particular problems and presents specific challenges that confront candidates and that Election Day victors can be expected to meet.
