Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book reveals how five crucial decisions made in Chicago's past shaped the city it is today. These include the federal land survey system, the selection of the site for Fort Dearborn, the city's role as a railroad hub, the development of a comprehensive plan by Daniel Burnham, and the establishment of ongoing planning as a core city function. The author describes how these decisions determined the layout of the city's streets and landmark commercial corridors. They also affected the development of railroads, the port, and the steel industry, which have played key roles in Chicago's economic development. The author emphasizes that even seemingly small decisions have shaped the identity and history of the city. Through this book, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the forces that have shaped the growth of Chicago, one of the world's great metropolises.
