	Chicago's Evolving Economic Geography
		Chicago has experienced three fundamental phases of economic development, reflected in the geography of its changing land use.
		For all its diversity, Chicago's manufacturing pattern was dense, urban-oriented, and tied firmly to the central city.
		This is aptly reflected by 1990 in the highly bifurcated pattern of office space: a vast concentration of commercial offices in the Loop business district, and a widespread scatter of office parks and commercial space in the suburbs, tied closely to the expressway network as it had evolved by then.

		During the 1880s, one fact about Chicago's population was indisputable: it was growing dramatically.

		The diverse ethnic perspectives of Chicago's immigrant communities transformed the politics of the city and its institutions.

	Geography of Chicago - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chicago's present natural geography is a result of the large glaciers of the Ice Age, namely the Wisconsin Glacier that carved out the modern basin of Lake Michigan (which formed from the glacier's meltwater).
		The flat plain that Chicago proper mostly lies on is the bed of glacial Lake Chicago, which was a larger precursor of Lake Michigan.
		There is the Chicago River, which may bring some argument as to geographic restriction, but the impact of which was strongly lessened by the strict adherence to the Chicago grid across the river.

	Hudson, John C.: Chicago (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The first geography of the Windy City in more than fifty years, Chicago: A Geography of the City and Its Region is a topical and chronological analysis of the area that both considers the city’s historical geography and anticipates its future trends.
		A thorough description of the physical geography of the region introduces a series of studies in historical geography that consider the origins of the city and its early development through to its present state, paying particular attention to race, ethnicity, and suburbanization, as well as commuting patterns, neighborhood change, and patterns of income distribution.
		Chicago concludes with a comparison of the balanced geography that prevailed in the early twentieth century with the skewed pattern of sectoral imbalances that exists today.

	MU Geography Graduate Program
		The first M.A. in geography was awarded in 1915 to Martineau Knight for his (her?) thesis entitled “Geography of Boone County: Historical and Economic Geography,” and this was followed in the next decade and a half by some fifteen more master’s degrees and one doctoral degree in geography.
		It was geography for general education: in Wheeler’s plain words, “geography that one would reasonably expect a college graduate to know.” Originally conceived as a single one-semester, five-hour course, it was divided in 1967 into two three-hour courses, which it still is today.
		When Geography was separated from Geology, or possibly a few years before in the late 1940s, it vacated nineteenth-century Swallow Hall, but leaving its name on the building, and moved into T-4, one of the numerous temporary, two-story, wooden buildings that the University put up to accommodate the large number of students after the war.

	Chicago 1990 Census Maps
		Chicago is known for its ethnic neighborhoods, but, in fact, there are hardly any tracts in Chicago or its inner suburbs where a majority of residents report the same European ancestry.
		Chicago is divided into 77 official community areas many (but not all) of which correspond roughly to the neighborhoods recognized in residents' mental maps.
		The geography of Hispanic population change was quite different, not least because there was a substantial in-migration of this segment of the population (this was not true of African-Americans and whites).

		This completely revised fourth edition skillfully weaves together the geography, history, economy, and culture of the city and its suburbs with a special emphasis on the role of the many ethnic and racial groups that comprise the “real Chicago” of its neighborhoods.
		Cutler demonstrates how the geography of “Chicagoland” and the influx of a diverse population spurred transportation, industrial technology, the economy, and sporadic planning to foster rapid urban growth, which brought both great progress and severe problems.
		He serves on the board of directors of several historical and geographic societies, including the Chicago Jewish Historical Society, of which he was a founder, and the Geographic Society of Chicago, of which he was the president.
