"How Are ‘We’ Living? Reevaluating the Chicago Boulevard System" by Rogelio Cadena @cadenarogelio (MAUD ’22) — Recipient of the Urban Design Thesis Prize. Advisor: Stephen Gray @sgrayud⁣ ⁣⁣ "At its inception, the Chicago boulevard system was heralded a civic success as it connected the city through a 'magnificent chain of parks and parkways,' as noted by urban developer John S. Wright, and provided ample space for carriage transportation and leisure activities for a certain class of Chicago’s residents. But what have we today? Or in the words of notable planner Daniel H. Burnham: 'How are we living?' This thesis explores the Chicago boulevard system’s past, current, and future purposes as a connection infrastructure within the city."
