In Studying the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago, Sudhir Venkatesh

In studying the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago, Sudhir Venkatesh avoids focusing on the pathology of the residents or the idea that high-rise projects are a pathological built environment.Instead, he focuses on…

A) how the police helped create the problems in the project by refusing to patrol there regularly.
B) how the residents basically gave up when urban problems got too much for them to handle.
C) the daily struggles of the residents to create a livable community in which they can live peacefully and safely even in the face of tremendous challenges and with limited resources.
D) how residents did not take advantage of all the resources provided to them, thus basically dooming the project to failure.
