Burnham Plan Centennial Announcements Advance Region's Lasting Green Legacy
2009
Overview
The five announcements are among 21 Green Legacy Projects identified by the Burnham Plan Centennial Committee and Openlands as closing gaps in the region's \"green infrastructure.\" All held events or made significant progress during the Burnham Centennial year. \"We commend the Burnham Plan Centennial and Openlands for the significant progress they have made to advance [Daniel Burnham]'s vision for improving the quality of life for Chicago-area residents,\" said Steve Solomon, president of the Exelon Foundation, environmental sponsor of the Burnham Plan Centennial. \"The Green Legacy projects support the Exelon Foundation's goals of encouraging respect for the environment and strengthening the social and economic fabric of the communities Exelon's operating companies serve.\" The year 2009 is the 100th anniversary of the publication of Daniel Burnham's and Edward Bennett's \"Plan of Chicago,\" one of the world's first and most visible comprehensive regional plans. Burnham's admonition to \"make no little plans\" has been a guiding principle for Chicago and for generations of planners and builders in cities around the globe. One hundred years later, the Burnham Plan still inspires the region to be visionary, think regionally, recognize the value of beauty and conservation, and act deliberately to turn our plans into reality for the benefit of all the people of the region.
