Editors note: Carl Smith stated in his book The Plan of Chicago – Daniel Burnham and the Remaking of the American City that the 1909 Plan of Chicago “long ago ceased to be a collection of proposals and (Daniel) Burnham a mere architect and urban planner. They have become landmarks in the cityscape, as palpable a presence for any planner or civic leader as Michigan Avenue or Grant Park.” To most planning practitioners such recognition for the Burnham Plan is appropriate. However, what may be even more gratifying to planners everywhere is the celebratory praise that is now being heaped upon Burnham and his plan. Although Utah is a “far cry” from both past and present day Chicago, the significance of the 100th anniversary of The Plan is worthy of our attention. As such we have dedicated this issue of the Utah Planner in recognition of this historic milestone—the birth of professional city planning in America.
