This year Chicago celebrates the centennial of the publication of the visionary "Plan of Chicago". Daniel Burnham and his coauther, Edward Bennett, reimagined the American city as a vibrant, interconnected whole. Their "Plan" is responsible for much of Chicagos public character, including its open lakefront and expansive park system. "Plans of Chicago", the inaugural publication of the Chicago-based Architects Research Foundation, uses the 1909 Plan as a precedent for reconnecting Chicagos center to outlying suburbs. As in Burnhams "Plan", improved transportation and park systems will make Chicago both the city that works and a "City Beautiful."
