Description
Chicago's planners and politicians played a pivotal role in shaping its development from 1958 onwards. This volume tells the real stories behind the city's growth, revealing both successes and failures in urban planning. From protecting the lakefront to promoting industrial growth and neighborhood development, the authors examine how Chicago navigated national trends that affected other cities. The Second City is no longer defined by its past myths but by its emerging postindustrial future. This book looks beyond the legacy of Burnham's vision to explore the sprawl and scramble of a city constantly evolving. By examining the stories of everyday people, planners, and politicians, readers gain insight into Chicago's unique character and the challenges it faces today. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of America's most iconic cities, shedding light on the complexities of urban planning and development in the 20th century.
