Carl Smith's fascinating history reveals the Plan's central role in shaping the ways people envision the cityscape and urban life itself. Smith's concise and accessible narrative begins with a survey of Chicago's stunning rise from a tiny frontier settlement to the nation's second-largest city. He then offers an illuminating exploration of the Plan's creation and reveals how it embodies the renowned architect's belief that cities can and must be remade for the better. The Plan defined the City Beautiful movement and was the first comprehensive attempt to reimagine a major American city. Smith points out the ways the Plan continues to influence debates, even a century after its publication, about how to create a vibrant and habitable urban environment. Richly illustrated and incisively written, his insightful book will be indispensable to our understanding of Chicago, Daniel Burnham, and the emergence of the modern city. 410 0$aChicago visions + revisions. 606 $aCity planning$zIllinois$zChicago$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aCity planning$xHistory 676 $a711/.40977311 686 $aHIS000000$aHIS036010$aHIS036060$2bisacsh 700 $aSmith$b Carl S$052051 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955400303321 996 $aThe Plan of Chicago$94357565 997 $aUNINA
