Excerpt from Plan of Evanston
The Small Parks and Playgrounds Association has been in existence since 1909, when it was organized to manage Mason Park, the gift of William S. Mason to the people of Evanston. In 1914 it relinquished this control to the City Council, in order, as was admirably stated by the then president, Mr. James P. Petrie, that the City of Evanston might be developed as a single unit in compliance with a comprehensive city plan.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a detailed look at the development of Evanston, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, in the early 20th century. The author explores the city's unique character, formed by its strategic location on the lake and the establishment of Northwestern University. The book examines the city's growth and the challenges it faced in adapting to the rapid urbanization of the surrounding region. The author argues that Evanston, like many other cities, struggled to reconcile its original vision of a tranquil community with the demands of a growing population and expanding industrialization. This struggle is illustrated through the analysis of key issues such as the provision of park and playground space, the need for effective street circulation, and the proper development of business centers. The book highlights the importance of a comprehensive city plan, advocating for the creation of a well-defined network of highways, parks, and public spaces to ensure the city's future health and prosperity. The author's insights into the complexities of urban planning in a rapidly changing world make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American cities and the challenges of managing growth.
