ABSTRACT
Synthetic, with Drummond prophetic, Chicago City Club’s publication in 1916 of the 1912-13 competition may well have been the last hurrah of the Progressives’ modeling for cities – that is, until Roosevelt’s New Deal promoted real programs. The Arts and Crafts Movement in America came to a symbolic end in 1915 when Gustave Stickley went bankrupt and Elbert Hubbard went down with the Lusitania. Also that year, the NCCP began publishing a quarterly journal, The City Plan, and books by Graham R. Taylor on Satellite Cities and Frederick Howe on The Modern City were released. In 1916, the Chicago City Club presented its neighborhood planning studies, and civil engineer Nelson Lewis published his popular manual on The Planning of the Modern City. In that year, nine American universities were offering city planning instruction.
