Why Chicago's 2020 Plan Will Save (or Sink) the City: The Burnham Legacy
In 1909, Daniel Burnham gave Chicago a bold blueprint. Now, in 2020, a new plan emerges—but it’s not about parks or boulevards. It’s about fixing a broken system: racial segregation, failing schools, and a fragmented government. Elmer W. Johnson’s 'Chicago Metropolis 2020' reveals the ugly truth: the city’s future depends on tackling inequality, not just skyscrapers. This video breaks down the five core challenges—sprawl, poverty, education, traffic, and governance—and shows what it’ll take to turn things around. If you care about cities, this is a must-watch.
