The French missionary Jacques Marquette and French-Canadian explorer Louis Jolliet were the first Europeans to record a visit to this spot at the foot of Lake Michigan, in 1673.

  • Cultural Facilities As an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples
    Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples A Paper Presented by Margery al Chalabi ACG: The al Chalabi Group, Ltd. WSE: World Society for Ekistics Annual Meeting Tinos, Greece September 24-29, 2002 Cultural Facilities as an Urban Growth Medium: Chicago and Pittsburgh Examples I. Introduction Over the past four decades (1960-2000), American central cities have undergone successive waves of in-and out-migration which have profoundly changed both their economic roles and their urban character. • The early 60’s saw an ebb in in-migration to northern cities from workers from the south; and growth in suburbanization, as highways and new housing proliferated. • The seventies produced industrial losses from the rust belt and expansions into the Sunbelt cities, accompanied by accelerating suburbanization in both. • The eighties produced major contractions in basic industries and a spurt in professional and service jobs. The central cities and their downtowns produced record-breaking square footages of offices to reclaim businesses and their workers, many of whom commuted, by train, from dormitory communities. • By the early nineties, urban areas had stretched well beyond reasonable commute times; and suburban office parks – particularly those around hub airports – had begun to compete with or overshadow traditional downtowns. Some urban areas, such as Atlanta, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, grew into multi- nucleated matrices and give rise to the term “Edge City”. • The late nineties and turn of the century witnessed a cultural renaissance in many central cities. Theater, music and dance are expanding, building new facilities and enlarging their audiences. Museums – both large and small – are building new and renovating old structures and expanding collections.
