Beyond Burnham, An Illustrated History of Planning for the Chicago Region
From the Plan of Chicago (1909) to the push for superhighways and airports to battles over urban sprawl, the book showcases an illustrated portrait of the big personalities and the big plans they espoused. The human face of planning appears in the interplay between public officials and citizen advocates. Powerful institutions emerge to promote metropolitan goals. Some efforts succeed while others fail, but the work of planners lives on in efforts to shape new
visions for the region's future.
