The authors of Beyond Burnham: An Illustrated History of Planning for the Chicago Region take you on a journey through a century of planning for metropolitan Chicago. From the Plan of Chicago to the push for superhighways and airports and battles over urban sprawl, their new book explores the personalities that helped shape Chicago and the “big plans” they espoused.
A book signing will follow in the Chicago Architecture Foundation Shop.
