Description
Urban planning was born in Chicago, but today’s city is not the product of Daniel Burnham or Mrs. O'Leary's cow. It’s the Rust Belt metropolis that has shouldered its way onto the list of global cities. But what did planning have to do with it? Where did planning steer the city right, where did it fail, and where was it ignored? Most important, what does planning offer today?
