Daniel Hudson Burnham's "Plan of Chicago" (1909) is a detailed diagram showcasing the proposed growth of the city. This architectural plan, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a significant example of urban planning in the early 20th century. Burnham, a prominent architect of the City Beautiful movement, aimed to reshape Chicago into a more efficient and aesthetically pleasing metropolis, emphasizing parks, grand boulevards, and a unified civic center.
