Make No Little Plans:
Transportation in the Heartland
The Annual Meeting of the Institute of Transportation Engineers Midwest Chapter will be held on July 6-8, 2008, at the Hard Rock Hotel in downtown Chicago. Our conference theme, "Make No Little Plans: Transportation in the Heartland," is inspired by renowned architect Daniel Burnham. His Plan of Chicago, commissioned by the Commercial Club of Chicago and released in 1909, is considered the nation's first comprehensive urban planning document.
This 100th-year period is an exciting time for engineers and planners
in the history of this city. Chicago's current bid for the 2016 Olympics
gives us an opportunity to examine key transportation engineering construction,
design, and planning issues related to mega-projects and special events
planning.
The program has now been formed and the call for abstracts is closed. There's plenty of interesting activities happening in the District so the program committee had a tough time selecting presentations. A special thanks to all of those who submitted an abstract and we hope to see you in Chicago either as a presenter or an attendee!
