This web site was developed as part of a community planning process that was jointly led by the University of Illinois at Chicago and community leaders of the Pilsen community. It¡¯s purpose is to provide visualization and contextualization for the many planning and design activities that take place in Pilsen. On this site, you may view a map of the community and click on various icons to view photographic images and videos of specific map locations. Community locations are organized as paths, nodes and edges.
