"Plate 110 from The Plan of Chicago" is a detailed architectural drawing of the city of Chicago, designed by Daniel Hudson Burnham in 1909. This intricate plan, housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, envisions a comprehensive system of streets, railways, parks, and public spaces. Burnham’s design sought to establish Chicago as a unified and well-functioning city. The drawing's emphasis on interconnectedness and efficient organization reflects the City Beautiful movement, a philosophy of urban design emphasizing aesthetics and order.
