PROFILE:
Minnesota born, Texas bred and California raised, Charlie still would rather shake than shiver, even after twenty years in the Midwest. While not complaining about the weather he spends time studying ways to improve housing and services for poor people, especially the homeless. A city lover and planner, Charlie imagines ways to improve the physical stuff that falls in between the places we inhabit. An unapologetic pragmatist he believes we should spend time finding ways to make democracy more practical. Charlie came to UIC in 1981 after completing his urban planning PhD at UCLA.
