Pressed for time they glance at an introduction or preface, skim through the body of the paper, study a chart or diagram here and there, and look for a sum- mation near the end of the work. To avoid such treatment of this study, I have given their,- troduction another, and hopefully more descriptive, name. I have avoided the esoteric formality of academic presentations, in- cluding my personal views but amply supporting them with facts, statistics and figures. The summary section is also more than a condensation of what is contained in the body of the text : it additionally implies recommendations for future directions in this art. Hopefully, this approach will make the material more interesting and digestible. How This Study Originated In July,1972,the StateofIllinoisAdvisory Council on Vocaticnal Education asked the writer to present before it a short paper on the Private Vocational and Technical School Involvement in Vocational Education in Illinois. The Council is a State appointed body of some 35 members which includes within its responsibilities the task of helping to establish state policy and direction on vocational education through liaison with the Governor and State Legislature Members. Many Illinois private schools also attended this meeting. The presentation of the paper was followed by a question, answer and discussion period which did much to provide the first meaningful dialog

Michigan Ave. (1928; Holabird & Roche/Holabird & Root) The 333 NORTH MICHIGAN BUILDING is one of the city's most outstanding Art Deco-style skyscrapers. It is one of four buildings surrounding the Michigan A venue Bridge that defines one of the city' s-and nation' s-finest urban spaces. The building's base is sheathed in polished granite, in shades of black and purple. Its upper stories, which are set back in dramatic fashion to correspond to the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, are clad in buff-colored limestone and dark terra cotta. The building's prominence is heightened by its unique site. Due to the jog of Michigan Avenue at the bridge, the building is visible the length of North Michigan Avenue, appearing to be located in the center of the street. ABOVE: The 333 North Michigan Building was one of the first skyscrapers to take advantage of the city's 1923 zoning ordinance, which encouraged the construction of buildings with setback towers. This photograph was taken from the cupola of the London Guarantee Building. COVER: A 1933 illustration, looking south on Michigan Avenue.

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.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 6, 2013 CONTACT: Mayor’s Press Office 312.744.3334 [email protected] MAYOR EMANUEL ANNOUNCES RETROFIT CHICAGO: COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS INITIATIVE DOUBLES IN SIZE Including new office, hotel, large residential, institutional properties; total program reach to over 28 million square feet Today Mayor Emanuel announced 18 new participants in Retrofit Chicago’s Commercial Buildings Initiative, bringing the program’s total reach to over 28 million square feet. This doubles the 14 million square feet represented by the program’s founding 14 participants. The Commercial Buildings Initiative was launched on June 5 by Mayor Emanuel and U.S. Secretary of Energy Dr. Steven Chu. “This expansion of Retrofit Chicago’s Commercial Buildings Initiative highlights the leadership of commercial building owners, managers, and tenants in making Chicago a center of building efficiency and a place where companies are maximizing their ability to compete,” said Mayor Emanuel. “These participants understand that in the modern economic environment, it is critical to operate at maximum efficiency. The commitments that have been made by these 32 organizations will create jobs and foster growth throughout Chicago’s economy, while improving our environment as well.” Energy efficiency and clean energy comprise one of seven focus areas outlined in Sustainable Chicago 2015, a three-year roadmap to drive sustainability through city operations, in residents’ day-to-day lives, and across our economy. The Commercial Buildings Initiative is one component of Retrofit Chicago – the City’s cross-sector effort to accelerate energy efficiency in buildings – which also includes energy efficiency efforts in municipal and residential buildings.

    DISTURBED facebook.com/Disturbed disturbed.lnk.to/instagram twitter.com/disturbed Imageyoutube.com/user/DisturbedTV not found or type unknown disturbed1.com en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disturbed_(band) open.spotify.com/artist/3TOqt5oJwL9BE2NG9MEwDa Disturbed is an American hard rock band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1994. The band includes vocalist David Draiman, bassist John Moyer, guitarist/keyboardist Dan Donegan, and drummer Mike Wengren. Former band members are vocalist Erich Awalt and bassist Steve Kmak. The band has released six studio albums, five of which have consecutively debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Disturbed went into hiatus in October 2011, during which the band’s members focused on various side projects, and returned in June 2015, releasing their first album in four years, Immortalized, on August 21, 2015. They also recorded and released one live album, Disturbed: Live at Red Rocks on November 18, 2016, which was recorded on August 18, 2016 at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado, located about 10 miles west of Denver, Colorado. Their seventh studio album, Evolution, was released on October 19, 2018. Before David Draiman joined Disturbed, guitarist Dan Donegan, drummer Mike Wengren, and bassist Steve “Fuzz” Kmak were in a band called Brawl with vocalist Erich Awalt. Before changing their name to “Brawl”, however, Donegan mentioned in the band’s DVD, Decade of Disturbed, that the name was originally going to be “Crawl”; they switched it to “Brawl”, due to the name already being used by another band. Awalt left the band shortly after the recording of a demo tape; the other three members advertised for a singer.
