Chicago Public Art Attractions
The City’s Public Art renaissance began in 1967 when Mayor Richard J. Daley dedicated the untitled sculpture commonly known as “The Picasso,” located at the Richard J. Daley Civic Center Plaza. Since then, the streets of downtown Chicago have become a “sculpture gallery.” With works by some of the world’s most renowned artists, the outdoor sculpture is as distinguished as the world-class architecture.

Performance and Activity Metrics

 

Permeable Alleys
The City is creating a green infrastructure by utilizing unique open spaces to hold water that would normally drain directly into the sewer system. For instance, the City built a new kind of alley in a North Side community as part of a pilot project. The alley, constructed of a rigid grid system and gravel, allows rainwater to soak into the ground-reducing water flow into the sewer system and backyard flooding.

 

Permeable Paving
Permeable paving refers to paving materials – typically concrete, stone or plastic – that promote absorption of rain and snowmelt.
