Chicago's Greatest Issue: An Official Plan (1911) - Hardcover

""Chicago's Greatest Issue: An Official Plan"" is a book written by The Chicago Plan Commission in 1911. The book provides a comprehensive plan for the development of the city of Chicago, focusing on the areas of transportation, land use, and public services. The authors of the book argue that Chicago's rapid growth and urbanization have led to a number of problems, including traffic congestion, inadequate housing, and poor sanitation. They propose a series of solutions to these problems, including the creation of a comprehensive transportation system, the establishment of zoning laws to regulate land use, and the construction of new public facilities such as parks and schools. The book also includes detailed maps and illustrations that help to visualize the proposed changes to the city. ""Chicago's Greatest Issue"" is an important historical document that provides insight into the challenges faced by urban planners in the early 20th century and the strategies they used to address them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
