The Plan of Chicago, Pt. 3: Streets, Circles & the Central Vision
About this episode
The episode discusses Daniel Burnham's vision for Chicago's streets and the challenges faced by the City Council in reimagining the city.
One thing Daniel Burnham didn’t shy away from was criticism. He knew that Chicago had too much potential that was withering away. Before he even sat down to write the “Streets” section of his 1909 plan, Chicago’s City Council had spent decades trying to rename, renumber, and reimagine the city streets. Show notes here!
