The Plan of Chicago, Pt. 3: Streets, Circles & the Central Vision
Apr 1300:58:24Tap to summarizeOne thing Daniel Burnham didn’t shy away from was criticism. He knew that Chicago had too much potential that was withering away. Before he even sat down to write the “Streets” section of his 1909 plan, Chicago’s City Council had spent decades trying to rename, renumber, and reimagine the city streets.Show notes here!

The Plan of Chicago, Pt. 1: Make No Little Plans
Mar 3000:58:20Tap to summarizeThe Burnham Plan of Chicago stands as a clear example of an era when wealthy power players used their influence to shape the city, believing, at least in part, that their vision would serve the public good. Were they always right? Not necessarily. But given the choice, I’ll take an ambitious parks system over another phallic rocket launched into space any day.Read the show notes here!

The Women Who Made Chicago Listen
Mar 2300:54:15Tap to summarizeThe roar of Chicago in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was not just the sound of industry and stockyards; it was the rising collective voice of women demanding influence, education, and reform. Far from the halls of government, these voices were first amplified within the elegant, often unassuming walls of women's clubs, institutions that were simultaneously havens for self-improvement and clandestine engines of social change. The history of Chicago's development is incomplete without tracing the impact of these organizations. They provided the intellectual and organizational springboard for women to step out of the domestic sphere and into the civic arena.
