Watch a short video, "Unfinished Business" created by Kurtis Productions and The Burnham Plan Centennial, featuring Jackie Samuel, Director of South Chicago's New Communities Program. The Chicago region of today is vastly different from that of 1909, thanks in certain ways to the Burnham Plan, but there is still more to be done. The video explores the Chicago of 1909 and shows how the Plan transformed the region. Current projects underway are highlighted, showing there remains a civic-minded push toward improving our global metropolis, even 100 years after the Burnham Plan.
