City Plans and Visions: MPC co-sponsors exhibit and panel discussion on zoning initiatives and planning in Chicago

From MPC's February 2003 Media Tips

MPC is collaborating with the Chicago Architecture Foundation on a two-month exhibition that will explore the influences good design and sound planning could have on Chicago's future.  Three architecture firms have taken aspects of the Central Area Plan for downtown Chicago, the zoning ordinance rewrite and Chicago Metropolis 2020's regional plan and designed visionary concepts for how they might be expressed. 

Among events that complement the "Invisible City:  Planning for Chicago's Future" exhibition, is a panel on zoning and planning moderated by MPC Vice President of External Affairs Peter Skosey. Other speakers will be Jacky Grimshaw, vice president for policy, Center for Neighborhood Technology; Martin Jaffe, J.D., professor, University of Illinois Chicago; and Barbara Lawrence, executive director, New Jersey Future. 

The panel is on Thursday, March 6 at 6 p.m., at the ArchiCenter Lecture Hall, 224 S. Michigan Ave.  Refreshments will be served at 5:30 p.m. For reservations, call 312.922.3432, ext. 909.
