Future plans
The CSUP will:
- Renovate Douglas Hall to house the Center for Solutions of Urban Populations, an incubator for pioneering ideas and transformative change
- Establish programmatic, research, outreach and entrepreneurial activities to address some of the most challenging issues in the Chicagoland region
- Become a hub of activity, creating new collaborative partnerships, garnering external funding, and promoting public-private partnerships to address issues significantly impacting the quality of life in the South Side of Chicago
- Promote collaborative interactions across the IIN network where hubs with expertise in areas such as data science, agriculture, and the environment will be able to add value to the community-transforming work of CSUP
