In the Spring of 2009, five master’s students and one professor from the Department of Urban Planning at the University of Illinois visited five cities to learn from on-the-ground practitioners about planning in the context of a “rustbelt” city. Visit our ‘About‘ page to find about more the trip.

Each of the city pages (see menu at right, or below) has our itinerary for the day, a reflection on some of what we saw and discussed, and photos to enjoy!
