At 2.7 million residents, Chicago is the most populous city in the American Midwest. The dense skyline is home to some of the tallest buildings in the world. Yet despite the imposing towers, the city remains open and welcoming with its broad avenues, parks, and promenades. This city has inspired schools of architecture, regional cuisine, and styles of literature. Works by Chagall, Miro, and Picasso are among Chicago's famous pieces of outdoor public art. Its citizens are devoted to its universally respected theaters and nationally beloved sports teams. The pages of this book are a photographic tribute to the streets of the Windy City.
