In the early 1900s, the city of Chicago underwent a major transformation, as the Board of Local Improvements undertook a series of ambitious urban renewal projects aimed at mitigating the effects of rapid industrialization and urbanization. This book provides a detailed account of the Board's history, structure, policies, and projects, and offers invaluable insights into the challenges and opportunities of urban planning and governance. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, maps, and charts, and is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and future of urban development.
