In studying the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago, Sudhir Venkatesh avoids focusing on the pathology of the residents or the idea that high-rise projects are a pathological built environment. Instead he focuses on

▸ how the police helped create the problems in the project by refusing to patrol there regularly.

▸ how the residents basically gave up when urban problems got too much for them to handle.

▸ the daily struggles of the residents to create a livable community in which they can live peacefully and safely even in the face of tremendous challenges and with limited resources.

▸ how residents did not take advantage of all the resources provided to them thus basically dooming the project to failure.
