The City Beautiful movement

Lunchtime Forum

The Progressive Era's issues echo those of today: government reform was paramount, expansion of public services was stressed, and new city agencies and philanthropic foundations were created to address social ills. Architectural historian and author Sally Woodbridge discusses how civic reform was tied to civic design, as the City Beautiful movement embraced Classical architecture.
