Seite 51 - ... 3. The Chicago plan is not presented as a scheme for spending untold millions of dollars now or in the future; on the contrary, it is a comprehensive suggestion of what may be accomplished in the course of years — it may be fifty, it may be a hundred — by spending in conformity with a well defined plan the money which we must spend anyhow from time to time on permanent public improvements. Paris has been made the world's most beautiful city only because she has followed for more than fifty...
