Changes

Daniel Burnham (1846-1912) was an American [[architect]] and planner. With his partner John Root he designed some of the earliest [[skyscraper]] buildings in the world (and he was designer of the Flatiron Building in [[New York City]]); and he designed the layout of the 1893 [[Chicago]] World Fair in a neoclassical '[[Beaux-Arts]]' style, influenced by L'Enfant's plan of [[Washington]] and [[Baron Haussmann]]'s rebuilding of [[Paris]], incorporating squares and radiating avenues with large vistas; this had a worldwide impact on city planning. Burnham was to put these ideas to further use in his Plan of Chicago of 1906-09, designed to turn Chicago into "a Paris on the Prarie".
