Among the changes he made to the city's government was creating its first environmental-affairs department under the management of longtime Great Lakes environmentalist Lee Botts.

Light up every street in Chicago to provide an economic ambiance and prevent crime.

Created the Ethics Commission

“shoot-to-kill” Order The brutal suppression of dissent at the 1968 Democratic National Convention tarnished the city's image, as did his infamous “shoot-to-kill” order shortly after the rioting following the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. This statement generated significant controversy. Daley's supporters deluged his office with grateful letters and telegrams (nearly 4,500 according to Time magazine), and it has been credited for Chicago's being one of the cities least affected by the riots.

Issued an executive order increasing minority business contracts Led fight for ward redistricting; more black and Hispanic representation

Public Service Equalization

Fought for equal provision of public services; neighborhood street, curb and gutter repair

Refused Affirmative Action Procedures in Police Build University of Illinois at Chicago

1986 Education Summit In 1986, Mayor Harold Washington convened an education summit that became the impetus for 25 years of reform—in three eras, identified by the Consortium on Chicago School Research.

CPS’s Racially Exclusionary Policies Public Housing for Black He used urban renewal funds to erect massive public housing projects that kept black Chicagoans within existing ghettos.

1968 Chicago Race Riots The 1968 Chicago riots were sparked by the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Rioters and police in Chicago were particularly aggressive, and the damage was severe.[2] Of the 39 people who died, 34 were black.

Illinois legislature passes the Chicago School Reform Act, which creates the local school council system in place today and initiates a period of aggressive reform.

1983-1987 Council War Washington's first term in office was characterized by ugly, racially polarized battles dubbed "Council Wars", referring to the then-recent Star Wars films. A 29–21 City Council majority refused to enact Washington's reform legislation and prevented him from appointing reform nominees to boards and commissions.

2011 High School Closing & CPS Reform

On February 6, 2008, the Chicago City Council approved, by a 41–6 vote, an increase in the city's real estate transfer tax to bail out the Chicago Transit Authority.

The mayor lengthened the school day for Chicago's elementary and high school students, reorganized the city's enormous system of community colleges to emphasize job-skills training. After reading in the Wall Street Journal about IBM's plans to create a six-year high school curriculum heavy in STEM subjects--science, technology, engineering and math--Emanuel decided to adopt the idea, but at five schools. He is determined to steer Chicago's leading universities into partnerships with local high schools.

2008 More Leases of Infrastructure

2011 Government Budget Cuts

2008 Real Estate Transfer Tax Increase

In September 2008, Chicago accepted a $2.52 billion bid to lease Midway International Airport for 99 years to a group of private bidders that included Citigroup. The Midway deal fell through when the private bidders were unable to secure adequate financing. In 2008, as Chicago struggled to close a growing budget deficit, the city agreed to a 75-year, $1.16 billion deal to lease its parking meter system

2006 Long-term Leases of Infrastructure In January 2006, Skyway Concession Company, a joint venture between the Australian Macquarie Infrastructure Group and Spanish Cintra Concesiones de Infraestructuras de Transporte S.A., paid the City $1.83 billion for rights to operate the Chicago Skyway and collect tolls for 99 years. The deal was the first of its kind in the U.S.

1990-2010 Richard M. Daley 2002 Rubber Stamp Counsil Even More By 2002, more than a third of the Council's 50 aldermen were initially appointed by Daley.[78] The Council became even more of a rubber stamp than in Richard J. Daley's terms. In the 18 months from January 12, 2000 to June 6, 2001, there were only 13 divided votes in the Council, less than one a month. 32 aldermen supported the mayor 90-100% of the time and another 14 supported the mayor 80-89% of the time.

2006-2009 Budget Deficits 1999 Police Abuse In October 1999 the organization issued a report "Summary of Amnesty International's concerns on police abuse in Chicago" which expressed concerns regarding improper tactics during questioning, the detention and interrogation of children, allegations of excessive force, shooting of unarmed suspects, and the lack of any external oversight of police complaints and disciplinary procedures.

Daley Machine, control of the government by winning elections allowed the Democratic Party to provide favors for voters in the form of special city services like tree trimming, bulk garbage pick-up, sidewalk repair, a free garbage can. The party could provide who worked the precincts and provided services for constituents in return for votes. The party also provided government contracts, zoning, and protection from inspection and police raids for businesses who made campaign conIn the few decades after 1970s, the economic, industrial and culture environment have shifted.

WHAT IS THE CHICAGO SCHOOL?

Milton Friedman Papers, Hoover Institution Archives

BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Chicago School, as it has come to be called, is associated with the University of Chicago and represents a Neoclassical school of economic thought. The University of Chicago is commonly held as one of the world’s foremost economic institutions. Over the course of its history, the school has produced, and been host to, a number of the United States’ foremost economists including Milton Friedman and Robert Lucas, including Ronald Coase, George Stigler, and Robert Fogel. Scholars from the Chicago School have had pioneering public choice theory, law and economics economics, and economic history. Although the University of Chicago’s Economics Department was founded in the 1892, the Chicago School as we know it, did not begin until the 1930’s. From the beginning, the University has always taken a practical approach to the study of economic theory, which became the basis for The Chicago School. The School now specializes in The Chicago School focuses mainly on macroeconomics,

and is connected to the freshwater school of economics. called saltwater school of economics, which has been adopted by coastal schools such as Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and UC Berkeley. The School emphasizes theoretical price theory, a strong belief in free markets, and ,therefore, limited involvement from the government in the economy. In 2010, Kaufman said of the Chicago School that it holds “...a deep commitment to rigorous scholarship and open academic debate, an uncompromising belief in the usefulness and insight of neoclassical price theory, and a normative position that favors and promotes economic liberalism and free markets.” The “Old Chicago” School predates the current incarnation. The theories of this school tended to lean heavily to the left and upheld primarily Keynesian ideals. Notable scholars from this period in the school’s history include Frank Knight, Henry Simons, and Paul Douglas. The research and investigations of these scholars Milton Friedman and George Stigler in the development of price theory and transaction cost economics.

BRIEF HISTORY The Chicago Housing Authority was formed in 1937 to manage federal housing projects built under President Franklin Roosevelt’s Public Works Administration. Many of the original housing was built as part of Roosevelt’s New Deal programs. During WWII, CHA housing was built for war-industry workers, and was constructed near industrial centers.

“THE NIGHT CHICAGO BURNED” THE CHICAGO RIOTS, 1968 FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1968

Following the tragedy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, thousands of angry young protesters took and things had quieted by Saturday, but Mayor Daley called for federal reinforcement. 12,000 army troopers and 6,000 national guard were called in to maintain peace on Chicago’s streets. Residents of the west side lived in fear and prayer, while those further away could do nothing but watch the

The death of a great leader certainly sparked a fury, but the sense of unrest and distrust had long since been brewing in

INFRASTRUCTURE: the sheer physical destruction of much looters were boarded up shortly after and have remained that way since. DEMOGRAPHICS: the riots caused a demographic shift in neighborhoods, the sheer panic they caused only reinforced and sped up the white migration of residents and businesses to the suburbs. POLITICAL: Mayor Daley’s harsh response to the riots served to strengthen the West’s anti-machine political movement, these was elected without machine backing in 1963. THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION RIOTS:


M_ECONOMY

Shaken by April’s violence, Mayor Daley wanted to be certain the Democratic National Convention would not be a repeat of the spring riots. Leading up to the August riots, Daley’s administration adopted an almost tolerant policy in their treatment of the black community, even naming a street after Martin Luther King. The actual convention, however, was guarded by an “army” security. The repeated display of force, of course, ended in disaster. The result, established in the general public opinion that Mayor Daley was nothing more than a common tyrant, and the nation began to focus on the issue of Police brutality. The Police violence at these riots was not aimed solely at the black community - innocent passersby and reporters fell victim as well. As a result, this protest served as a catalyst for anti-Machine activity in the liberal lakefront wards, forever

Population: 29.963 The built-up area of the young city (green) extended only a third of the way to the city limits. The Illinois & Michigan Canal, opened in 1848, connected the city to Downstate Illinois and the Mississippi Valley. The first railroad reached the city the same year.

Population: 109.206 A dozen railroad lines now reached the city, and settlement reached west and north of the Chicago River. The first horsecar line opened in 1859, along State Street from Randolph to Roosevelt.

By 1900, Chicago had become the world’s fifth-largest city.

Population: 1,099,850 The city's territory more than doubled as surrounding towns agreed to annexation in 1889. Other settled areas, such as Evanston, Oak Park, and Maywood, remained independent of the city. New cable car lines reached further out from the Loop than the old horsecars could.

Population: 1,698,575 The first elevated line opened in 1892 and was quickly followed by others reaching far out into the neighborhoods. Both the L lines and new electric streetcar lines spurred development in outlying areas. The new Sanitary and Ship Canal replaced the Illinois & Michigan Canal.


M_INFRASTRUCTURE & MOBILITY

The great Chicago fire left 100,000 people homeless and caused millions of dollars in damage.

Population: 298.977 City limits have been extended, and development extended in fingerlike patterns out along the half-dozen horsecar lines. The city became a manufacturing center as well as the center of Western agricultural trade.

Population: 2,185,283 Extensions to the elevated lines reached into developing areas and even beyond the city limits. As the city grew and annexed adjacent towns, problems arose with duplicate street names and a confusing numbering system based on the Chicago River. On June 22, 1908, the city council adopted a system proposed by Edward P. Brennan; amended June 21, 1909. The changes were effective September 1, 1909 for most of the city. Addresses in Chicago and some suburbs are numbered outward from baselines at State Street, which runs north and south, and Madison Street, which runs east and west.

Population: 503.185 Post-Fire resettlement led to development of outlying neighborhoods and the first commuter suburbs, which appear like beads strung along the radiating railroad lines.

Population: 2,701,705 The L was extended to Wilmette and Berwyn. The North Shore Channel was dug to provide fresh water to flush the stagnant North Branch of the Chicago River.

Population: 3,376,438 A decade of frantic growth resulted in thousands of new bungalows encircling the city. Elevated extensions to Dempster (Niles Center, now Skokie) and 22nd & Mannheim (Westchester) were expected to serve new developments, but the Depression ended the city's homebuilding boom. New landfill areas created more lakefront parkland, some of which was used for the 1933-34 Century of Progress Exposition. The Cal-Sag Channel opened, connecting Lake Calumet port facilities to the Sanitary & Ship Canal.

Population: 3,369,359 The expressway network (shown in rose) radiating from the Loop was finished. Skokie Swift service brought rapid transit back to Skokie in 1964, and two new lines were constructed in expressway medians: the extension to Jefferson Park and the Dan Ryan line to 95th Street. New port facilities at Lake Calumet followed completion of the St. Lawrence Seawayin 1959.

Population: 3,396,808 The Depression hit Chicago hard, ending the city's building boom. The city changed little from 1930. Lake Shore Drive became the city's first express highway.

Suburban growth in the early 1970s spread to Schaumburg and Oak Brook, but then development slowed as a nationwide recession and declines in Midwest manufacturing hit Chicago. CTA suffered from a series of financial crises and service cutbacks. The planned Crosstown Expressway was cancelled as public attention turned to energy and environmental concerns.


M_INFRASTRUCTURE & MOBILITY

Population: 3,620,962 The State Street subway opened in 1943. After the Chicago Transit Authority took over rapid transit operations in 1947, service to Niles Center was ended. A postwar building boom filled in the city and the first ring of suburbs with new houses, and increasing auto ownership meant the development of areas far from public transit lines.

Rapid transit service reached O'Hare, and money from the cancelled Crosstown Expressway paid for a new line to Midway Airport (opened 1993). A building boom filled the Loop with new office towers, and former industrial areas near the Loop were redeveloped with apartments and townhouses.

Population: 3,550,404 CTA closed several rapid transit branch lines during the 1950s, including the Stockyards, Kenwood, Humboldt Park, and Normal Park lines. The Garfield Park line was cut back to Desplaines Avenue and relocated to the median of the new Congress (now Eisenhower) Expressway. New development was most pronounced in the Morton Grove, Skokie, Niles, and Des Plaines areas, areas served by the new Edens Expressway or near the new O'Hare International Airport. The full tollway network and Calumet Skyway opened in 1958.

Systematic planning for public roads in Chicago begins. The Chicago Plan Commission was created to implement the plan of Daniel Burnham and Edward Bennett, which put heavy emphasis on avenues and thoroughfares. Only the extention of Ogden Ave was constructed though.

There are 350.000 automobiles and 18.000 trucks in Chicago.

Automobile registrations increase at a rate of 32,000 vehicles a year.

A public road program for Chicago’s suburbs and rural areas is begun by the state.

Due to the increase of cars, the city spends almost $500 million to widen and resurface the streets.

Gasoline tax is introduced.

Public opposition to expressway construction forced the city and state to cancel plans to build a crosstown freeway on the West Side. The Camulet Skyway, the only toll road in the city, is opened.

The culmination of the road-building art in Chicago was the Dan Ryan Expressway—a 14-lane road with a two-mile-long bridge over the South Branch of the Chicago River. It cost $282.7 million, or $25.7 million per mile to build.

HARD INFRASTRUCTURE: GRID ORIGIN pre 1785

Before settler presence, the Chicago area was inhabited by native Americans. Their trails criss-crossed the area, avoiding obstacles. Many of them still remain, being carried over into the present day expressway system. European settlers tried to straighten the trails, but stagecoaches found it more expedient to use the beaches along the lake than rutted trails inland.

It was right after the revolutionary war and congress did not have the power to raise revenue by direct taxation of the inhabitants of the U.S. They decided to raise money through the sale of land in the unmapped midwest territories. In order to smoothen sales, they devided the entire land into a grid of townships, each six miles square, each containing 36 lots.

Large-scale annexations of 1889 complicated matters further throughout the city. In 1901, Edward P. Brennan proposed a solution, recommending State and Madison as the baseline for a city-wide street numbering system, the system still in use today. In 1908, after years of alterations and improvements, the Chicago City Council adopted the plan, and enforced it beginning September 1, 1909.

Daniel Hudson Burnham was an American architect, urbanist and a pioneer in skyscraper architecture. Next to his Chicago-Plan he was famous for being the most important architect of the World’s Columbian Exposition, the designer of the Flat Iron Building in NY and Union station in DC. The Chicago Plan took foothold in 1906 and was published in 1909. It contained an entire reshaping of the

Sections that had been laid down by government surveyors and sold as single parcels subsequently had been divided into smaller lots for purchase. The boundaries of many of these smaller, subdevided holdings followed the familiar rectangular grid pattern, rather than rivers or other natural boundaries.

In spite of the 1830 grid, navigating was not simple. The house and street numbering system was inconsistent and became more so as Chicago annexed adjacent towns. In 1880 the City Council took steps with an ordinance that adjusted house numbers south of Twelfth Street to match the numbered streets on the south side, but the measure neglected the central and northern portions of the city.

HARD INFRASTRUCTURE: GRID ORIGIN

TOWNSHIPS The federal government surveyed the Chicago area, as part of the Northwest Territory, into townships ordinarily of 36 square miles These survey townships eventually became political entities: as a result of a new state politan area organized townships, which became responsible for basic governmental functions such as roads and taxes. In the mid-nineteenth century, the townships ringing and Hyde Park—incorporated in order to provide more services to their increasingly suburban constituents. However, incorporated townships proved too unwieldy and most were annexed into Chicago in 1889. Townships continue to provide basic services in many suburban areas.

The Chicago River, one topography, and existence of Chicago, cuts irregularly through the rectilinear grid of the surveyors. The river divided the city into three districts: of public works, police, and assessors all consisted of representatives selected from each of these divisions. Beginning with the ward system established in that charter, and periodically redrawn in following decades, the river continued to serve as one of the major boundaries between representative legislative districts in the city.

The origin of the grid lies at the crossing of Madison and State street. From this origin, every road and street receives a code: the address number followed by a letter. Every mile of road contains 800 addresses, therefore the number of Primary roads is a multiple of 800 and that of Secondary roads a multiple of 400.

Congestion in the roads of Chicago:

Congestion is a major problem ble its communities are, shaping decisions as where people live and work. After decades of underinvesting in public transportation and developing land that doesn’t support transit, too many residents lack options for getting around. The consequences include limited personal choices, more cars tying up the roads of Chicago, more pollution, and continued dependence on foreign oil.

Two characteristics of the lake bottom off Chicago are favorable for constructing new land. First, the gradual slope reduces the volume of fill needed to create land. Second, the thick sequence of glacial till provides a firm foundation for holding timbers or steel sheetpile driven into it.

Burnham and Bennett describe in Plan of Chicago how the planning and design for the 1893 World's Fair Columbian Exposition provided a foundation for the Plan. Lagoons, islands, shoreline configurations, waterway vistas, and shoreline aesthetics were all important in the design for the Exposition grounds, and these similarly became important design elements in the proposed lakefront.

SOUTHSHORE LAKE PROTECTION: LATE 1890s SOUTH LAKESHORE PROTECTION: Late 1890’s By the late 1890s, prior to any filling for parkland along the south lakeshore, an extensive groin field was in place to provide shore protection for the Illinois Central Railroad. The lack of littoral sediment prevented the desired sand entrapment. The erosion threat persisted.

A common belief is that much of today's Chicago lakefront is the result of the Burnham Plan. In reality, similarities are limited. However, Plan of Chicago influenced all subsequent lakefront park development with its unprecedented proposal of a regional, contiguous lakefront park system in public ownership. Most important, the Plan proposed using lakefill to make new land and a new shoreline that included promontories, bays, islands, and lagoons.

The idea of creating islands and lagoons along the south lakeshore dates to the late 1890s in Daniel Bumham's earliest drawings and is present in the 1909 Plan of Chicago. However, subsequent to the publication of the Plan, the South Park Commissioners modified the Burnham and Bennett concept by designing a wider lagoon and introducing inlets between a series of islands. Five islands were proposed, and these were originally designated by number, progressing from north to south. Work began on Island 1 during the late 1920s. World War II was a factor in halting work on Islands 2 through 5. Evidence remains of the intention to build these islands. Elongate depressions exist along the lake bottom aligned along what would have been the axis of the lagoon. The depressions were formed by the excavation of lake-bottom sand and clay to provide deeper water along the lagoon and to gain material for the lakefilling of Burnham Park.

During the 1850s, to provide shore protection for Michigan Avenue, the city allowed the Illinois Central Railroad to extend northward by building tracks on trestles a short distance offshore and building an adjacent breakwater. The gap between Michigan Avenue and the railroad tracks was later filled with debris from the 1871 Chicago Fire (Chrzastowski 1991). This filled land became known as Lake Park. Subsequent filling to the east of the tracks included material from boring the city's water tunnels and excavation to build the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and helped create the land for Grant Park, named after Civil War general and U.S. President, Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885). 1926

LINCOLN PARK

Lincoln Park dominates the north lakeshore, covering 1,208 acres and extending nearly 5.5 miles northward from North Avenue. The park had its origins during the late 1800s as a small park called Cemetery Park. As land was created by lakefilling, the park grew northward and reached its present northward extent in the 1950s. Lakefilling and shoreline design by the Lincoln Park Commissioners were already under way along Lincoln Park by the publication of Plan of Chicago in 1909. Belmont Harbor, Diversey Harbor, and the South Lagoon are Lincoln Park features that correspond to designs in Plan of Chicago.

The mapped comparisons show the northward expansion of Lincloln Park with time. After the initial development of the park along the natural lakeshore in the late 1800s, nearly all subsequent park expansion was accomplished by lake filling. Montrose, Belmont, and Diversey Harbors were each formed by using lake fill to semi-enclose water areas.

Building Dates History The development of Gage Park began in 1873 when South Park Commissioner George W. Gage began working on a planned park at the intersection of Western Ave. and Garfield Boulevard. Upon Gage's death in 1875, the park was renamed Gage Park in his honor. The area developed slowly after Gage's passing, slowly adding more and more land and offering up more services to the local community. By 1919, Gage Park had added more land and the park now included ball fields, tennis courts, separate men's and women's gymnasiums, gardens, and a wading pool. A large field house and auditorium was later added in 1928, with a large mural by Tom Lea added in 1931.

As the community of artists and entrepreneurs grew,music clubs culture revised the geography of black Chicago. Blues clubs spread out as the city’s black population grew and the genre’s popularity rose, but most remained in or close to African American neighborhoods. By the 1990s, the blues had become widely fashionable, and while the historic pattern largely held, some clubs, especially those downtown and on the North Side, catered to largely non-African American audiences.

We accept anyone. We don’t care where your from.

What makes me proud of this city - well, for starters, the architecture. Also the museums. The news spends more time talking about sports than weather.

Whether you are a Bulls fan or not, many Chicagoans have kids who play basketball and they follow the games religiously.
