“…Offering all the necessities of life, including a grocery store, office space, restaurants, theater, bowling alley, skating rink, swimming pool, and over 400 apartments, the hermetically sealed complex seemed to live up to its motto: “a city within a city.” Those living in Chicago today know this complex as “the corncob buildings.” Its compact, lunar design seems to say something about space-age futurism. The architect behind Marina City, Bertrand Goldberg (1986/n.d. ), predicted the problems of sprawling expansion, from the suburbanization of poverty to long commuter times, that made possible opportunities to profit from eroding urban infrastructure.…”

The Verticality of White Space: Depths of Ticketing Exposure and Concealment in Chicago’s 42nd Ward

The peaks and valleys written into Chicago’s 42nd Ward outline themselves against what space is legible to ticketers in the city’s hungriest vehicle ticketing district. It is a space that defies the racial geography of ticketing in Chicago, where predatory practices prey on communities of color as though they are the city’s slush fund. In the 42nd Ward, ticketing is like a language that is spoken in a specific geometric dialect. Those who issue them speak with a street-level fluency that omits a vocabulary of verticality, where space is readable only through narrow focus that sees what is at ground-level but not below or above it. In a district that features high volumes of automobility but little street parking, the ward’s ticketing hotspots are territorial soft targets that stand out like italicized font to flag the ticketer’s attention. Camouflaged in the unarticulated White space that separates one word from another are vertical sanctuaries from surveillance and sanction. The district is a White space in both a figurative and literal sense, given the racial position of who wrote these words, which vested interests they advance, and to what ends.

“…The corncobs embody a racial aesthetic that was designed to stem the tides of White flight. Architect Bertrand Goldberg (1986, n.d.) explains,Marina City was the project of the janitor’s union. It was meant to bring exurbanites back into the city.…”

Life expectancy is one of the principal concepts of gerontology. Opportunities enabling continuation of life into middle and advanced older ages reflect the experience of personal aging along a life‐course trajectory within a specific sociocultural context. While we are all living longer there are some who are living much longer, which in essence is a reflection of life expectancy inequalities. While this entry presents information about social determinants of longevity, the primary focus is on human longevity in relation to social class status. Improving life expectancy across all societies is deemed to be a matter of social justice as well as an ethical and moral imperative.
