AAA Living Illinois - July 2009 - (Page 36) ROAD TRIPS Chicago Century CHICAGO—“Make no little plans,” advised legendary Chicago architect and urban planner Daniel Burnham. Throughout his career, Burnham designed some of America’s most famous structures, but none were as ambitious as his 1909 Plan of Chicago. Burnham’s vision transformed the gritty industrial city of his time into “Paris on the Prairie,” with wide boulevards and people-friendly parks. Among his legacies: North Michigan Avenue blossomed into the Magnificent Mile; 26 miles of lakefront beaches and parks were created for public use; and, Navy Pier became a tourist playground. SEE CHICAGO’S ARCHITECTURAL EVOLUTION THROUGH CURRENT AND HISTORIC PHOTOS Throughout 2009, the Burnham Plan Centennial celebrates his groundbreaking work with hundreds of special events. Activities include architectural tours, musical performances, an Art Institute of Chicago exhibit, and even bike and kayak excursions. The stars of the centennial reside in Millennium Park through October. Here, a pair of ultra-modern pavilions hint at how the city might look after the next 100 years. burnhamplan100.org ■ John Handley Planning a summer road trip?
