The launch of the sixth issue of AREA Chicago is the perfect opportunity to support local writing while enjoying a summer afternoon in Logan Square's Paseo Prairie Garden. This issue of the politically and socially conscious Chicago journal, entitled "City as Lab," investigates some experimental policies that effect how Chicagoans learn, where they live, and how they make ends meet. Using numerous case studies, AREA Chicago parses the consequences of the privatization of the school system, the mortgage crisis, and deindustrialization — all of which, the magazine suggests, have shaped Chicago into a city of "precarious living," where activism is increasingly necessary.
