      ab: This research concerns the extent to which previously vacated industrial building space in Chicago's black community has been reclaimed by industrial and other uses. it encompasses a survey of 209 documented vacancies. Findings reveal that about one-half of the surveyed industrial building vacancies were reclaimed for some specific use, and the balance remained vacant or were demolished. The majority of all reclamations were reclaimed by non-industrial uses. Less intensive use of building space was common in both industrial and non-industrial reclamations. Churches, eating and drinking establishments, auto parts, furniture, and upholstery stores dominated non-industrial reclamations (service establishments presumably oriented to the local black population); industrial reclamations were primarily fabricated metals, construction, printing and publishing, and miscellaneous repair services.
