Chicago is a planned city. This tour will provide

planning that started in the 1800s. See examples
of development and redevelopment in all parts
of the city, and learn about its current status as an
international hub for finance and commerce, culture,

transportation. Travel from the center city Loop,
with its commerce and culture and fast-growing
residential area, to the North Side Old Town and
Lincoln Park neighborhoods and historic Wrigley
Field, to the West Side and Logan Square, Humboldt
Park, and Garfield Park. Ride through Chicago’s
emerald necklace, a 26-mile boulevard system, to
Near South and West Side medical centers and

and Hyde Park, site of the original 1893 World’s
Fair and the University of Chicago. After a spin

North America, and historic Soldier Field, home of
the Chicago Bears. Transportation: Motorcoach.
