"Plan of a Proposed Park" is a detailed architectural drawing by Daniel Hudson Burnham from 1909. The plan, part of his larger "Plan of Chicago", showcases a proposed park with winding pathways, symmetrical landscaping, and large bodies of water. Burnham's plan, intended to transform Chicago into a modern city, was influenced by the City Beautiful movement and highlights the emphasis on grand urban spaces for public enjoyment. This drawing, currently located at the Art Institute of Chicago, provides a glimpse into Burnham's vision for the city's future.
