Chicago is the "City of the Century" for its legacy of innovation, resilience, and impact. Rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1871, it pioneered the modern skyscraper and set global standards in architecture. During the Industrial Revolution, Chicago became the country’s railroad center, driving the economy through manufacturing and trade. Culturally, the city shaped American music, introducing jazz and blues legends like Louis Armstrong. The 1893 World’s Fair showcased groundbreaking achievements, cementing Chicago as a leader in arts and industry. Social reformers like Jane Addams transformed the city, leading labor and civil rights movements that left a national imprint. Chicago’s constant reinvention—from revitalizing its waterfront to leading in tech and healthcare—reflects its resilience and ambition. Today, it stands as a symbol of progress, diversity, and innovation. #CityOfTheCentury #Chicago #Innovation #UrbanDevelopment #Architecture #Resilience #CulturalImpact #Leadership #Reinvention

Historic preservation is a passion that runs deep here at Christman. It goes beyond saving a building—it’s about preserving the stories, energy, and history held within its walls, while also making a positive environmental impact by reusing and revitalizing existing spaces. Welcome to our series, “Discovering My Passion for Preservation at Christman.” Today, we’re featuring George Conley III, superintendent in the DC Metro region and a dedicated member of our Historic Preservation Group. How did you find your way to historic preservation? "My passion for preservation work began right after my apprenticeship as a mason, and I’ve been doing it ever since. I’ve always loved history and learning how things were built. When working on preservation projects, you never know what you’ll discover—there are ideas, but nothing is certain." What drives your passion for it? "I love the techniques involved in preservation. Bringing old buildings back to life is incredibly gratifying, knowing that a 200+ year-old building might still be standing because of the work we’ve done." #HistoricPreservation #BuiltHistory #PreservationPassion #Revitalization #MonumentalWork

Fort Worth’s Future: A Strategic Expansion The City of Fort Worth announced the next phase of construction on the Fort Worth Convention Center expansion is expected to begin in 2026. The $606 million project will modernize the aging complex to meet the demands of a rapidly growing Fort Worth. Hunden Partners and Rob(in) Hunden have been at the forefront of this transformative effort, having conducted numerous studies over the past 20 years. A 2019 study projected $6.9 billion in new spending over the next 30 years from the expansion which includes an additional 97,000 square feet of exhibit hall space, 48,000 square feet of meeting rooms, and a 50,000-square-foot grand ballroom designed to accommodate larger conventions and drive economic impact. Read more:?https://lnkd.in/gXrCrcxw As city leaders and stakeholders continue to champion this project, the expansion will redefine the City of Fort Worth’s downtown skyline and position the city as a premier destination for large-scale events and conventions. The expansion is more than just a building project—it's a strategic investment in the city's future. #HundenPartners #FortWorth #Placemaking

Imagine a downtown where interesting and beautiful places keep you wanting to walk further, to see more and experience all of the diverse activity that surrounds you; (kinda like the feeling you had the first time you visited City Museum). I envision a place where people would prefer to not have a car when living in or visiting downtown because of how it takes away from the vibrant experience and sense of adventure one gets just from being there. What if we rebuilt downtown to be a fully livable, self-sustaining community that has everything one needs for a happy and healthy life, (like groceries, parks, schools, jobs, etc.) all without ever needing to get into a car? But let's not stop there. What if we built a place that was truly invigorating... a place that daily inspires creativity and sparks the innovative and creative juices waiting to be unlocked in each of our brains? We can use lessons learned from neuroscience to inform how we create such a place that stimulates our neurons. We can even tap into the brain hacks that gaming and social media companies have used to design this place by creating a compulsion loop that: 1. triggers interest, 2. provokes action (i.e., walking one more block, checking out a store/event/piece of art, etc.), 3. provides a variable reward (things change and you never know what you will experience from one day to the next), and 4. entices an investment (time, money, talent, etc.) back into the community so that each resident or visitor can leave their finger print on the place - which then triggers the interest of the next person. Let's not make the mistake of thinking that we need to build back what once was, (i.e., a central business district where people come for their 9-5 and little else). Downtown hitting "rock bottom" is our chance to build something entirely new and different. It's time to think outside the box. Please share your thoughts in the comments below. Let's start a discussion!

Jim Perschbach, Port San Antonio, fantastic leadership. The collaboration between YTexas and Port San Antonio can help drive the rebirth of the San Antonio superpower. Texas, the State of the Future, will spawn a national revival: https://lnkd.in/gkqduK_t 1968 State Fair of Texas: https://lnkd.in/gfm6rV_p https://lnkd.in/gqJyXtKd Historically State Fairs were used to release key new technologies like the early days of the electric grid (think Tesla vs. Edison); the telecommunications industry, the Interstate Highway, the space race,?. . .?The World Fair was used to introduce electricity and light bulbs.?Then General Motors did Motorama in 1956 and solidified Detroit as the center of the automotive industry.

In our journey toward more sustainable and health-conscious urban environments, the adoption of tunable circadian lighting for exterior spaces has emerged as a beacon of innovation. This lighting technology not only respects the natural rhythms of human biology but also minimizes the ecological footprint on our planet’s diverse ecosystems. As we know, excessive artificial lighting disrupts the circadian rhythms of humans and wildlife alike, affecting sleep patterns, behavior, and even the survival of species. The challenge we face is twofold: How do we illuminate our cities and landscapes in a way that supports human health and safety, while also preserving the dark skies necessary for our flora, fauna and wildlife. The answer lies in the development and implementation of tunable circadian lighting. This technology allows for adjustments in light intensity and color temperature, aligning with the natural progression of daylight and ensuring a harmonious balance between artificial and natural light. By mimicking the dynamic nature of daylight, we can create outdoor environments that support the human circadian system, enhance mood and productivity, and significantly reduce light pollution. But our responsibility does not end with human well-being. Protecting nocturnal wildlife, conserving energy, and preserving our view of the starlit sky are equally important. Integrating motion sensors and adopting dark sky-friendly lighting fixtures are steps we can take to minimize our ecological impact. As we embrace this journey, let’s collaborate across industries, from lighting designers and urban planners to environmentalists and technologists, to create outdoor spaces that respect both human and ecological needs. The future is bright – but let it be so in a way that honors the delicate balance of our planet. #SustainableLighting #CircadianRhythm #EcologicalDesign #UrbanPlanning #InnovationInLighting
