The last few weeks we spent time diving into the fantasy that was the World’s Columbian Exposition. This has always been an event that I would do anything to go back in time to attend. In reality, if I existed as myself all the way back in 1893, there’s no way I would’ve attended the Fair. At best, I would’ve been on display at the Midway.

One 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.

One of the largest projects that the plan broke down was transportation. The ideas were large and costly. Burnham dedicated a great part of his plan to remapping the city with a focus on how people and freight interacted. Show notes here!
