  • 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).

Using locational data from Social Media platforms platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, along with participatory field visits and combining insights from architecture and urban design literature, this study reveals popular socio-spatial clusters in the City of Chicago. Locational data of photographs were visualized by using Geographic Information Systems and helped in producing heat maps that showed the spatial distribution of posted photographs. Geo-intensity of photographs illustrated areas that are most popularly visited in the city. The study’s results indicate that the city’s skyscrapers along open spaces are major elements of image formation. Findings also elucidate that Social Media plays an important role in promoting places; and thereby, sustaining a greater interest and stream of visitors.

  • 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.
