Chicago Model City

A highlight of the citywide Burnham 1909 Plan of Chicago centennial celebration, Chicago Model City includes a very large, up-to-date, detailed model of Chicago and the 3D digital computer model that was used to create the exhibition. Designed to get people thinking about how cities develop, the exhibition shows how Chicago is a model for understanding all cities.  The scale model spans four square miles from Lake Michigan to Halsted and from Oak Street to 16th Street, with 1000 highly detailed buildings in 400 city blocks.
