520 3 _aCanonical entrepreneurship scholars (Schumpeter, Hayek, and others) have argued that entrepreneurial innovation and initiative is a critical part of "creative destruction"--the sometimes difficult process of building social arrangements that challenge and topple existing, less capable predecessors. Although the revitalizing potential of entrepreneurship has often been studied in the context of commercial start-up businesses, recent scholarship on institutional entrepreneurship highlights the kinship between for-profit entrepreneurship and the equally transformative innovation and initiative of entrepreneurs in the nonprofit, community, and policy-activist fields. This expanded exploration of entrepreneurial potential has become important in the creative destruction--or, more accurately, "creative reclamation"--of abandoned or under-used industrial relics and urban space. My project uses case studies in New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia, where community groups have deployed or are attempting to deploy symbolism and narrative to re-purpose abandoned urban infrastructure into urban public spaces.
