Chicago 1890 - The Skyscraper and the Modern City

Zusammenfassung Chicago's skyscrapers are famous for projecting the city's modernity around the world. But what did they mean at home, to the Chicagoans who built them, and gazed up at their facades? This book reveals that skyscrapers offered solutions to the city's problems and, in the process, fostered an urban culture that spread across the country.
