This book reveals a story of social, political, and legal conflict in which private and public rights have clashed repeatedly over time, only to produce, as a kind of miracle, a generally happy ending. The book's authors study the lakefront's evolution from the middle of the nineteenth century to the twenty-first. Their findings have significance for understanding not only Chicago's history but also the law's part in determining the future of significant urban resources such as waterfronts.Cornell scholarship online.Lakeshore developmentIllinoisChicagoHistoryLakeshore developmentSocial aspectsIllinoisChicagoLakeshore developmentEconomic aspectsIllinoisChicagoLakeshore developmentLaw and legislationIllinoisChicagoChicago lakefront, History of Lake Shore Drive, Chicago’s Lake Michigan shoreline, Montgomery Ward, Streeter/Streeterville, Grant Park.Lakeshore developmentHistory.Lakeshore developmentSocial aspectsLakeshore developmentEconomic aspectsLakeshore developmentLaw and legislation307.14160977311Kearney Joseph D.1219605Merrill Thomas W.StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910554256603321Lakefront2819997UNINA
