	City Beautiful movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The City Beautiful movement was a Progressive reform movement in North American architecture and urban planning that flourished in the 1890s and 1900s with the intent of using beautification and monumental grandeur in cities to counteract the perceived moral decay of poverty-stricken urban environments.
		The "Garden City" movement in Britain influenced the contemporary planning of some newer suburbs of London, and there was cross-fertilization between the two esthetics, one based in formal garden plans and urbanization schemes of the Baroque the other, with its "semi-detached villas" evoking a more rural atmosphere.
		The first large-scale elaboration of the City Beautiful is considered to have been the "White City", as it came to be called, at the World Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.

	Architecture: The City Beautiful Movement
		The shapelessness of American cities was due in large measure to the extraordinary speed with which they had developed: between 1860 and 1910, the number of American cities with more than 100,000 residents rose from 8 to 50.
		Daniel Hudson Burnham was indisputably the “Father of the City Beautiful.” As director of works of the World's Columbian Exposition (1893), he effectively launched the movement that 15 years later would reach its apogee in his epochal Plan of Chicago (1909).
		The builders of the temporary city had, after all, struggled with the problems posed by actual cities, from the efficacy of streets, sidewalks, waterfronts, and bridges, to the realities of sustenance, transportation, and sewage.

	The City Beautiful Movement
		However, the real consumers of the city's goods were not its residents; increasingly, with the advent of improved transportation and roadways, the middle and upper-middle class retreated from the cities into the suburbs, leaving the less well-to-do and the downright poverty-stricken to the quickly decaying urban center.
		The idiom the City Beautiful leaders used in their ideal civic centers was the Beaux-Arts style, named for the famous Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which instructed artists and architects in the necessity of order, dignity, and harmony in their work.
		The shimmering "White City," as the fair came to be known during that summer in Chicago, was a tour de force of early city planning and architectural cohesion.

	Detroit's City Beautiful and the Problem of Commerce
		Challenging the primacy of the exposition as a source of the City Beautiful movement, these scholars have traced the important contributions to City Beautiful ideals made by American park planning (3) and by 19th-century campaigns for municipal art, civic improvement, and outdoor memorials.
		Indeed, City Beautiful proponents in Detroit and elsewhere were centrally concerned with restoring the dignity and dominance of the civic and cultural landscape.
		The plaza between the city hall and the new courthouse lacked the formal clarity of later American civic centers, and it emerged amid charges of boodle and graft rather than amid celebrations of aesthetic ideals; nevertheless, it tentatively explored the spatial possibilities of the emerging City Beautiful movement.
