What Would Jane Say? City Building Women and A Tale of Two Chicagos
by Janice Metzger

Reviews

City planning is not only the design of physical spaces. Its essential elements include consideration and care for people, and including them in the planning process! Burnham's Plan of Chicago could have been a comprehensive one, but it wasn't. Every person especially every city planner who reads the 1909 Plan of Chicago should read this book. You will be nodding throughout and find yourself astounded that so much was missing.

--Karen L. Stonehouse, AICP, President, American Planning Association Illinois Chapter

Janice Metzger's relentless inquiry, integrity, and passion for the subject are evident on every page. The "Burnham" Plan was Chicago's gift to the world. What Would Jane Say? is a much needed expansion of the dialogue on the ingredients that make a healthy city, and it reminds us why place matters.

--Sylvia Ewing, Veteran producer and writer
