Trade Review
"Chicago is the city meant to be looked at. Justifying that with inspiring clarity, this book surveys the urban vistas as the aesthetic unity of architecture and landscape - and raises the guidebook to new heights of the genre." - William Conger, artist and professor emeritus, Northwestern University "There is no other book-length guide to the built landscapes of Chicago.... It will appeal to Chicagoans and visitors looking for an informed guide to the city's outdoor spaces." - William Thompson, editor, Landscape Architecture"
