City planning -- Illinois -- Chicago -- History -- 20th century
The drawings for the Plan of Chicago were executed by Ben E. Holden,
Clarence E. Howard, Chester M. Davison, Chris U. Bagge, and Leo
Strelka. Mr. Holden was identified with the study of the general plan
and the park system, both in general and in detail; Mr. Howard with
the Center of the City and the Railroads; and Mr. Davison with the
treatment of the Lake Front. The plans for the Civic Center and for
Grant Park were studied by Fernand Janin of Paris, who came to Chicago
in 1908 for that especial purpose. The renderings by Jules Guerin were
made during extended visits to Chicago in 1907, and again in 1908. The
work of both Mr. Guerin and Mr. Janin appears over their names. The
Sanitary District Map of the City of Chicago has been used in compiling
the plan drawings. Plate XVII is compiled from plans published in “Les
Transformations de Paris.”
