Daniel Burnham,the Plan of Chicago, 1909: he envisioned Chicago being a "Paris on the prairie." This was the first plan for controlled growth of an American city. He declared that every citizen should be within walking distance of a park. Though only parts of the plan were actually implemented, it set the standard for urban design, anticipating future need to control unexpected urban growth, and continued to influence the development of Chicago long after Burnham's death.
