Daniel Burnham's Plan of Chicago
Return to previous Page ›
This exhibition brings the architect, Daniel Burnham's 1909 plan for the city to the Art Institute of Chicago for the enjoyment of anyone interested in architecture and the social ideals that influenced the early planning of the United States.
His work, unprecedented in size and scope, created city treasures still cherished today such as the string of stunning lakefront parks, suburban forest preserves, the wide boulevard of North Michigan Avenue, the bi-level Wacker Drive and a broadened Congress Parkway. The plan's legacies, however, are more than simply physical; Burnham promoted innovative concepts that remain goals for Chicago's vibrant future, including weaving the city into the regional fabric and creating abundant public spaces to foster community.
