From the impressive Frank Gehry-designed Jay Pritzker Pavilion to the artistic wonders that include Cloud Gate, aff ectionately known as “the Bean,” the Park is a year round attraction. But never more so than in the summer, when free musical entertainment, family-friendly activities, annual festivals and diff erent tours off er non-stop enjoyment. This summer two new exhibits fi ll Lurie Garden and Chase Promenade, featuring work by French artist Jean-Luc Mylayne and talented local and international architects. A summer fi lm series will screen at the Pritzker Pavilion – and the Chicago Gospel Music Festival, Chicago Jazz Festival and World Music Festival Chicago will all take place there, representing the wide interests and cultures of our vibrant city. Returning this summer are the city’s free concert series in the Park: Downtown Sound – adding six nights to showcase more contemporary, electronic and world music artists – and Made in Chicago: World Class Jazz. Visitors and residents will continue to enjoy a great summer tradition, the Grant Park Music Festival – bringing free classical music to Chicago’s lakefront. Additionally, and most importantly, kids of all ages will have fun all summer long at the Family Fun Festival. On behalf of the City of Chicago, I encourage you to plan a visit to Millennium Park this summer. With programs off ering something for every member of the family, you won’t want to miss it.

Congress Parkway. Featured guest artists for this extraordinary performance will include student musicians from Cuba’s national conservatory of the arts. Tickets are $29 - $68 and are available at AuditoriumTheatre.org, by calling (312) 341-2300 or in-person at the Auditorium Theatre’s Box Office, 50 E. Congress Parkway. Subscriptions for the Auditorium Theatre’s 2015 - 2016 season and discounted tickets for groups of 10 or more are also available.

This United States premiere, featuring musicians from Cuba, is another historic moment to celebrate,” said Executive Director Brett Batterson. “Orbert and the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic were witnesses to the earliest days of our country’s new relationship with Cuba and will bring those emotions, as well as the rich history of Cuba’s music, to the Auditorium for an extraordinary performance.” In December 2014, Davis and Chicago Jazz Philharmonic musicians conducted a weeklong residency at Universidad de las Artes (ISA), Cuba’s national conservatory of music in Havana, culminating in the debut of this new work at the Havana International Jazz Festival.

    Social Media and Popular Places: the Case of Chicago Kheir Al-Kodmany†

    International Journal of High-Rise Buildings International Journal of June 2019, Vol 8, No 2, 125-136 High-Rise Buildings https://doi.org/10.21022/IJHRB.2019.8.2.125 www.ctbuh-korea.org/ijhrb/index.php Social Media and Popular Places: The Case of Chicago Kheir Al-Kodmany† Department of Urban Planning and Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA Abstract This paper offers new ways to learn about popular places in the city. 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. Consequently, planners should tap into public’s digital engagement in city places to improve tourism and economy. Keywords: Social media, Iconic socio-spatial clusters, Popular places, Skyscrapers 1. Introduction 1.1. Sustainability: A Theoretical Framework The concept of sustainability continues to be of para- mount importance to our cities (Godschalk & Rouse, 2015). Planners, architects, economists, environmentalists, and politicians continue to use the term in their conver- sations and writings.

Nederlander or “Jimmy,” Chairman of The Nederlander Organization, was the visionary theatrical impresario who built one of the largest private live entertainment companies in the world known for producing and presenting world-class entertainment since 1912. Jimmy started working in the theatre at age 7 sweeping floors for his father, David Tobias (D.T.) Nederlander, in Detroit, Michigan. During a career that spanned over 70 years, Jimmy amassed a network of premier legitimate theatres including nine on Broadway: the Brooks Atkinson, Gershwin, Lunt-Fontanne, Marquis, Minskoff, Nederlander, Neil Simon, Richard Rodgers, and the world famous Palace; in Los Angeles: The Pantages; in London: the Adelphi, Aldwych, and Dominion; and in Chicago: the Auditorium, Broadway Playhouse, Cadillac Palace, and CIBC Theatres, and the Oriental Theatre which this year was renamed the James M. Nederlander Theatre in Jimmy’s honor. He produced over one hundred acclaimed Broadway musicals and plays including Annie, Applause, La Cage aux Folles, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Me and My Girl, Nine, Noises Off, Peter Pan, Sweet Charity, The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickelby, The Will Rogers Follies, Woman of the Year, and many more. “Generous,” “loyal” and “trusted” are just a few of the accolades his friends use to describe him. Jimmy was beloved by the industry and the recipient of many distinguished honors including an Honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts from the University of Connecticut (2014), the Exploring the Arts Foundation Award (2014), the United Nations Foundation Champion Award (2012), The Broadway League’s Schoenfeld Vision for Arts Education Award (2011), the New York Pop’s Man of the Year (2008), and the special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement (2004).
