Study From Chicago City Planners Says Obama’s Presidential Center Would Have ‘Adverse Effect’ on Surrounding Communities
30th July 2019
Much like his administration’s policies….
Building the Obama center at the currently desired location “will have an adverse effect to Jackson Park Historic Landscape District and Midway Plaisance because it will alter, directly or indirectly, characteristics of the historic property that qualify it for inclusion in the National Register,” the report stated. “Primary physical changes that are concentrated in the western perimeter of Jackson Park and the eastern Midway Plaisance impact adjacent park areas including the Lagoons, Fields, and Lake Shore. The changes alter the legibility of the design of the cultural landscape in ways that diminish the overall integrity of spatial organization in the property as a whole.”
I don’t know what that means in English. Presumably it’s not good.
I still think they ought to build it in Hawaii.
