  • Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago's Parks
    Daniel H. Burnham and Chicago’s Parks by Julia S. Bachrach, Chicago Park District Historian In 1909, Daniel H. Burnham (1846 – 1912) and Edward Bennett published the Plan of Chicago, a seminal work that had a major impact, not only on the city of Chicago’s future development, but also to the burgeoning field of urban planning. Today, govern- ment agencies, institutions, universities, non-profit organizations and private firms throughout the region are coming together 100 years later under the auspices of the Burnham Plan Centennial to educate and inspire people throughout the region. Chicago will look to build upon the successes of the Plan and act boldly to shape the future of Chicago and the surrounding areas. Begin- ning in the late 1870s, Burnham began making important contri- butions to Chicago’s parks, and much of his park work served as the genesis of the Plan of Chicago. The following essay provides Daniel Hudson Burnham from a painting a detailed overview of this fascinating topic. by Zorn , 1899, (CM). Early Years Born in Henderson, New York in 1846, Daniel Hudson Burnham moved to Chi- cago with his parents and six siblings in the 1850s. His father, Edwin Burnham, found success in the wholesale drug busi- ness and was appointed presidet of the Chicago Mercantile Association in 1865. After Burnham attended public schools in Chicago, his parents sent him to a college preparatory school in New England. He failed to be accepted by either Harvard or Yale universities, however; and returned Plan for Lake Shore from Chicago Ave. on the north to Jackson Park on the South , 1909, (POC).

  • BOUNDARY COMMISSION for ENGLAND PROCEEDINGS at The
    BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND PROCEEDINGS at the 2018 REVIEW OF PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN ENGLAND HELD AT THE COTTON EXCHANGE BUILDING, OLD HALL STREET, LIVERPOOL, L3 9JR ON FRIDAY 21 OCTOBER 2016 DAY TWO Before: Mr Neil Ward, The Lead Assistant Commissioner ______________________________ Transcribed from audio by W B Gurney & Sons LLP 83 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0HW Telephone Number: 0203 585 4721/22 ______________________________ At 9.00 am: THE LEAD ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for joining us today. My name is Neil Ward. I am the Lead Assistant Commissioner appointed by the Boundary Commission to conduct two things: To conduct the hearings across the whole of the North West into their Initial Proposals for the revised parliamentary boundaries for the North West region and, along with two fellow assistant Commissioners, Nicholas Elliott and Graeme Clarke, to take on board all the representations that are either made in the hearings or in written representations and to consider, in the light of them, whether we think it is appropriate to recommend changes, revised proposals to the Boundary Commission on their Initial Proposals. I should say that I am, in a sense, essentially independent of the Boundary Commission. Although I am appointed by them, I had no hand in the drafting of the proposals and I received them the same time as everyone else and I am, in a sense, an honest broker in this process, considering whether or not changes ought to be made. This is the second day of the Liverpool hearing. Just a couple of words on process.

  • Our Response to Friends of the Parks' 'State of the Parks' Report
    Our Response To Friends of the Parks’ ‘State of the Parks’ Report December 21, 2018 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHICAGO PARK DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT The Chicago Park District is thoroughly disappointed in Friends of the Park’s (FOTP) recent “State of the Parks 2018” report. The report is inaccurate and blatantly disregards important capital and programmatic gains that have been made in parks across Chicago. As a result of massive expan- sion of park acreage and facilities since 2011, 99.6 percent of Chicago residents are within a 10 mi- nute walk of a park. Over the last eight years, the Chicago park system has seen unprecedented growth, including 1,000 additional acres of park land, 355 renovated or new playgrounds, 35 new artificial turf fields and 16 new park field houses that are complete or now under construction. These gains have not gone unnoticed, as we were the largest municipal park agency in the nation to win the prestigious 2014 Gold Medal Award for Excellence in Parks and Recreation Manage- ment, awarded by The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), which recognized in- vestments made to create a brighter, healthier future for all of Chicago's children. While we appreciate the necessity of civic groups that seek to educate citizens, this report demonstrates the opposite. In an attempt to make their organization relevant, FOTP intentional- ly cites old data and manipulates and distorts the analysis and methodology of current data to highlight its own agenda. Despite the claim of gathering and analyzing all available data, the re- port fails to consult the 2018 Trust for Public Land ParkScore and the Chicago Park District’s 400+ page 2017 Master Plan, which is readily available on our website at www.ChicagoParkDistrict.com.

He brings a wealth of knowledge of policing as well as a lifetime of experience working with citizens and understanding what we all want and expect from our Police service. Bob says, “Merseyside is only a small area, but it is remarkably diverse in its population and needs. The role of the PCC, is a job for someone who understands the whole area, not just one tiny part of the city of Liverpool.” Getting our 220 extra officers on the beat across Merseyside, not just in Liverpool City Centre – so Merseyside has a more visible policing presence.

  • Sefton Council Election Results 1973-2012
    Sefton Council Election Results 1973-2012 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
