This summer, the Metropolitan Planning Council asked residents of the region to submit photos or videos of their favorite public spaces to the "What Makes Your Place Great?" contest. The response was overwhelming; More than 50 submissions from around the region - from gardens and public plazas to coffee shops and hiking trails - were nominated. Come hear the people behind the winning submissions talk about the history of their favorite places, why they nominated them for the contest and what they mean to them and their community. Four winners were selected by a panel of experts and by more than 8,000 individual votes on PlacemakingChicago.com.
