| dbo:abstract | The Chicago Plan Commission is a commission implemented to promote the Plan of Chicago, often called the Burnham Plan. After official presentation of the Plan to the city on July 6, 1909, the City Council of Chicago authorized Mayor Fred A. Busse to appoint the members of the Chicago Plan Commission. On November 1, 1909, the City Council approved the appointment of 328 men selected as members of the Commission—men broadly representative of all the business and social interests of the city. Charles H. Wacker was appointed permanent chairman by the Mayor, and served until 1926, when he was succeeded by James Simpson. Walter Moody was the managing director of the Chicago Plan Commission for nine years until his death in 1920. He was succeeded for 22 years by . Moody was renowned for his ingenuity as a spokesperson for the Plan. The Encyclopedia of Chicago recounts one of his more successful acts of salesmanship: "Moody, the salesman nonpareil, even raised the enactment of the Plan to a sacred calling. On Sunday, January 19, 1919, some 80 Chicago churches participated in what were called "Nehemiah Day" services. The ministers of these congregations agreed to take the words of the Old Testament prophet Nehemiah, "Therefore we, His servants, will arise and build," as the basis of their sermons, in which they would advocate the implementation of the Plan of Chicago." Moody also prepared a textbook, Wacker's Manual of the Plan of Chicago, which taught the major aspects of the Plan to a generation of Chicago schoolchildren. The Commission was successful at fostering relationships with politicians of several types and at encouraging voters to support its initiatives. Between 1912 and 1931, Chicagoans approved 86 Plan-related bond issues covering some 17 different projects. The commission was reorganized in 1939, becoming part of city government. The name Chicago Plan Commission has persisted through a number of administrative reorganizations; today the Chicago Plan Commission is staffed by the city of Chicago's Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning. Its 18 members adopt plans and review certain proposed developments as advisors to the city council. (en) La Chicago Plan Commission (en français : « Commission du Plan de Chicago ») est une commission qui fut mise en place par les autorités municipales de Chicago pour promouvoir le vaste « Plan de Chicago de 1909 » (plus connu sous le nom de Plan Burnham) qui a pour but de lancer un grand projet de réaménagement urbain à travers la ville de Chicago. Après la présentation officielle du Plan de la ville le 6 juillet 1909, le conseil municipal de Chicago autorise le maire de Chicago Fred A. Busse à nommer les membres de la Chicago Plan Commission. Le 1er novembre 1909, le conseil municipal approuve la nomination de 328 hommes sélectionnés pour servir en tant que membres de la commission. Il s'agit d'hommes issus de tous les horizons largement représentatifs de toutes les entreprises et les intérêts sociaux de la ville. Charles H. Wacker est nommé président permanent par le maire, et sert jusqu'en 1926, avant d'être remplacé par James Simpson. Walter Moody devient le directeur général du Chicago Plan Commission pendant neuf ans jusqu'à sa mort en 1920. Eugene Taylor lui succède et occupe cette position durant 22 ans. Moody est renommé pour son habileté en tant que porte-parole de la commission. Il prépare également un manuel, le "Wacker Manuel" du Plan de Chicago, qui enseigne les principaux aspects du plan à une génération d'écoliers de Chicago. La commission réussit à favoriser les relations entre les politiciens et les entrepreneurs, et encourage les électeurs à soutenir ses initiatives. En 1939, la commission se réorganise et devient une branche à part entière du gouvernement de la ville de Chicago, dépendant intégralement de ce dernier. Bien que la commission ait connue plusieurs formes de réorganisations administratives, le nom de Chicago Plan Commission reste. Aujourd'hui, la Chicago Plan Commission est composée du Département de zonage et de l'Aménagement du Territoire de la ville de Chicago. Ses 18 membres actuels ont adopté de nouveaux plans et examiné certains aménagements afin de les proposer au conseil municipal. (fr) |
