Join the Friends of Downtown at their annual meeting for an evening of light appetizers, drinks and discussion.
One hundred years after the Plan of Chicago was published, downtown Chicago is a much different place than Burnham imagined -- though benefits and visions from his plan endure. Join the Friends of Downtown during its annual meeting to discuss if and how urban planning can work in the 21st Century.
The evening program, which begins at 6:00 pm, features three experts on planning and development as they review the successes, failures, and potential future legacies of the Burnham Plan, followed by a group discussion.
* Past: Dennis McClendon
* Present: Alderman Brendan Reilly
* Future: Frank Beal, Executive Director, Chicago Metropolis 2020
* Moderator: Peter Kindel
