Before the 1909 Plan of Chicago, architect and urban planner Daniel H. Burnham worked on the 1905 Plan of Manila, in the Philippines. DePaul University in Chicago, who started the planning of the 2009 centennial celebrations under the leadership of Susan Aaron and the Chaddick Institute for Metropolotan Development, is actually active also in Manila. In collaboration with Adamson University, another academic insitution guided by Vincentian and inspired by the values of St. Vincent de Paul, Dr. Marco Tavanti has been directing a DePaul University program in Manila focussing on partecipatory urban poverty assessments. This blog includes some of the analysis and findings related to our collaborative projects between DePaul University Chicago and Adamson University in Manila.
