A New Nature: East Chicago/Indiana

A New Nature: East Chicago/Indiana
     Images taken over industrial environments overlaid with data driven maps highlighting the affected communities adjacent to these sites. Pictured: East Chicago/Indiana. The 25 most polluted wards of the city are all located in the city's south and west sides adjacent to communities of color, the map of Cook County pictured highlights these wards over a partially rehabilitated industrial dump site and abandoned steel factory plot, a few blocks from neighboring communities.

      Under this asite, big marsh on the city's far southeast side is a cache of toxic materials that could not be removed from the area and was instread buried and capped. This cap is only built to last 100 years and as it begins to leak it joins the rest of the environmental waste degrading the communities of color still anchored around these abandoned sites.
