Excerpt from Through Routes for Chicago's Steam Railroads: The Best Means for Attaining Popular and Comfortable Travel for Chicago and Suburbs This book presents two propositions. The first is that Chicago's urgent need for better means of fast and comfortable local travel should be largely met by its steam lines; the second is that these should, to that end, be organized on the through-route plan. The steam lines are mostly elevated already above street interference, they represent the highest speed in travel, they fan out thickly over the city, they have their own rights-of-way and so minimize public suffering from the noise, dust and danger incident to fast travel, and they have a wide margin of unused capacity. The through-route idea, making as it does for normal city development and for the spread of population, is beginning to be recognized as the basic principle of city planning for large communities. Its application to local travel routes is indispensable to sound and far-sighted city planning for Chicago. The idea is indeed accepted in practice now for all local passenger railways in Chicago except the steam lines - which still operate entirely on the terminal plan. It is believed that a properly designed and operated system of through routes for local travel on the steam lines would constitute, from a broad city planning standpoint, the most efficient trunk factor for a logical trunk-and-feeder scheme of passenger travel for the entire city and its suburbs, and would yield more accommodation in rapid transit for the same outlay than could be secured in any other way. Such fitness as the author may have for discussing this subject comes from the investigations made by him as secretary of the Special Street Railway Committee of the City Council of Chicago in 1897-8, and from personal study before and especially since then of passenger traffic and housing conditions in American and foreign cities. The opinions here expressed were first outlined by the author in the series of transportation discussions held by the City Club last year, and, so far as known to him, constitute the first advocacy of the idea that the steam railroads of Chicago ought to serve in a large way for local travel. Thanks are due to Mr. Charles K. Mohler, formerly of Chicago, now Chief Engineer of the Board of Public Utilities of Los Angeles, for several original maps and other valuable data here reproduced. Acknowledgment for maps and diagrams used is also due to Mr. Richard Petersen, Dr. Rudolf Eberstadt and Professor Bruno Mohring of Berlin, the Citizens' Terminal Plan Committee of Chicago, the Chicago Plan Commission, the Board of Supervising Engineers - Chicago Traction, the Chicago Association of Commerce Committee on Smoke Abatement and Electrification, Mr. Bion J. Arnold, Mr. Frederic A. Delano, Mr. William Drummond and Mr. Jarvis Hunt. Mr. Dwight L. Akers, Assistant Civic Secretary of the City Club, rendered special assistance in the final revision of the text. Mr. Carlos Colton Daughaday as editor in charge has directed the work of publication.

The Urbanism Of Frank Lloyd Wright written by Neil Levine and has been published by Princeton University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016 with Architecture categories.
This is the first book devoted to Frank Lloyd Wright's designs for remaking the modern city. Stunningly comprehensive, The Urbanism of Frank Lloyd Wright presents a radically new interpretation of the architect’s work and offers new and important perspectives on the history of modernism. Neil Levine places Wright’s projects, produced over more than fifty years, within their historical, cultural, and physical contexts, while relating them to the theory and practice of urbanism as it evolved over the twentieth century. Levine overturns the conventional view of Wright as an architect who deplored the city and whose urban vision was limited to a utopian plan for a network of agrarian communities he called Broadacre City. Rather, Levine reveals Wright’s larger, more varied, interesting, and complex urbanism, demonstrated across the span of his lengthy career. Beginning with Wright’s plans from the late 1890s through the early 1910s for reforming residential urban neighborhoods, mainly in Chicago, and continuing through projects from the 1920s through the 1950s for commercial, mixed-use, civic, and cultural centers for Chicago, Madison, Washington, Pittsburgh, and Baghdad, Levine demonstrates Wright’s place among the leading contributors to the creation of the modern city. Wright’s often spectacular designs are shown to be those of an innovative precursor and creative participant in the world of ideas that shaped the modern metropolis. Lavishly illustrated with drawings, plans, maps, and photographs, this book features the first extensive new photography of materials from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Archives. The Urbanism of Frank Lloyd Wright will serve as one of the most important books on the architect for years to come.
