Photographs Of Abandoned America Show Civic Problems, Engagement (PHOTOS)
The following is a post from David Schalliol, the Visiting Assistant Professor of Social Sciences at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
The photographs featured in this gallery are an outgrowth of my interest in the dynamics of urban communities, particularly as they change in response to broad social forces.
From demographic shifts to federal government policies to alternating trends in retail sales, each photograph offers an example of one of the many conditions or causes of dereliction in the United States. Corresponding details about each location and its circumstance are paired with each photograph to provide a better understanding of the multitude of forces working in each site.
Many of the images displayed here are from one portion of my collaborative project with historian Michael Carriere, documenting how people throughout the United States are engaging problems in their communities. Given the financial crisis and housing market collapse, these problems are increasingly related to foreclosures, abandonment and dereliction. In short, the subjects of these photographs.
Still, it would be a mistake to only read the scenes in these images as victims of decline. Aspects of community life, artistic engagement with place and even with civic attempts to address the problems -- if not always their causes -- are present in many of these photographs.
Those interested in a more direct engagement with the solutions may be interested in visiting our exhibition at the Grohmann Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, entitled "The Death and (After) Life of Post-Industrial Milwaukee."
David Schalliol is the Visiting Assistant Professor of Social Sciences at the Illinois Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago. He has received numerous grants, fellowships and awards, including for his contribution to "Out My Window," an interactive documentary that won the 2011 International Digital Emmy for Non-Fiction. He is currently pursing a variety of projects exploring the transformation of urban centers, including a new documentary series on buildings threatened with demolition in Chicago.

To demolish building probably costs less than repairing them but many people who have lost their homes and have nothing would probably be more than happy to help with repairs in order to have a place to live.
What a waste for no reason except peoples fear of recreating "bad neighborhoods".

We have a fractional-reserve banking system to thank for it.

Not that enough Americans actually care enough to do anything about it. Thanks ESPN and American Idol.
