      abstract = {To address growing inequalities, cities across the nation  have turned to place-based funding strategies. In Chicago,  the Neighborhood Opportunity Fund (NOF) provides grants to  fund startup activity of local entrepreneurs in disinvested  areas. Many of the contemporary challenges of cities today  reflect the neoliberal assumptions of late  twentieth-century policies. These solutions claim that  market-driven processes, and not state intervention, are  sufficient to promote positive, socially neutral  development and growth. As one of the most segregated  cities in the United States, Chicago stands as an example  that these neoliberal policies exacerbate inequalities and  actively exclude low-income, communities of color. With  widespread neoliberal urban development, this paper seeks  to show why municipal governments must consider realigning  efforts to better empower local communities with the  substantive tools and power to address neighborhood needs  by using place-based strategies as a start to addressing  racial inequalities.},
