Carl Smith

4.9/5 (19991 ratings)

Description:"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will themselves not be realized." Architectural historians still debate if Daniel Hudson Burnham (1846-1912) ever really spoke these words, but nobody can deny that the quotation fits the scope of his life mission. Nothing embodies that better than his 1906-9 Plan of Chicago, arguably the most influential document in the history of American city planning. Northwestern University history professor Carl Smith places this visionary urban strategy within its historical context. After reading this book, no Windy City resident or visitor will ever regard the city's lakefront parks and Magnificent Mile in the same way again.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
