Author Ross Miller discusses his latest work, which centers around Chicago and the aftermath of the Great Chicago Fire and its effects on rebuilding the metropolis and the advantages of gaining a new take on architecture and society.

The author and community organizer talks about his book, Street Signs Chicago: Neighborhood and Other Illusions of Big City Life. He and Studs discuss Chicago as a city of neighborhoods, though it sometimes lacks a sense of community, due to industrialization, displacement, and gentrification.
