Burnham Plan of 1909 Centennial Celebration On October 9, Loyola students, faculty and staff as well as community residents are welcomed to a centennial celebration of the 1909 Plan of Chicago. Loyola is hosting two panel discussions exploring the legacy and implications of the Burnham and Bennett plan, with a special focus on the Edgewater and Rogers Park communities. The first panel focuses on ecological issues, and the second on planning issues. This panel discussion is one of many special events throughout the region that are sponsored by local hosts in collaboration with the Burnham Plan Centennial organization.
Speakers on the panels include Loyola faculty and as well as representatives of Friends of the Park, the Illinois State Geological Survey, and Chicago 2020. The panels are sponsored by the Urban Studies Program and the Sociology Department of the Loyola to provide a forum for public education and discussion on topics important to the future of the region. Any questions about the event can be directed to Dr. Marilyn Krogh, Director of Urban Studies, at
mkrogh@luc.edu.
