By the mid-1880s Chicago was dealing with massive environmental and socail problems that threatened to make great parts of the city unlivable. Donald Miller, author of City of the Century: The Epic of Chicago and the Making of Modern America will address Burnham's efforts to create an efficient urban community. He will examine how Burnham balanced order and freedom, growth and control, and capitalism and community to work to create a better metropolitan city. Miller will illustrate how Burnham's pioneering ideas can be instructive for our own time as he discusses how we can apply those ideas to our Chicago today.
