It's based on an exhaustive survey of every parcel of land in Chicago, and provides a detailed, map-based inventory of how the city's land was being utilized at a given point in time. The work sought to establish a baseline of land use that could be used for planning purposes and to inform policymakers as the city entered the post-World War II era.
