Chicago has an issue with deadlines. The 1893 World's Columbian Exposition was a year late—ultimately celebrating the 401st anniversary of Columbus's arrival in the New World. While their tardiness has been lost to historical amnesia, the influence of Daniel Burnham and his classicizing cohorts is still evident in the tradition-bound forms that the current mayor, Richard M. Daley, often champions. Chicago's latest example of civic foot-dragging, Lakefront Millennium Park, arrived late by four years (or three, depending on your calculation). But in contrast to the "White City," which Louis Sullivan famously claimed set back Chicago architecture by 50 years, the new park and its exciting mix oi uses may have exactly the opposite effect: propelling the city's long-lan- guishing design culture far into the twenty-first century with c boldly contemporary gestures that have captured the imagina-tion of both the general public and the cognoscenti.

机译：芝加哥有一个截止日期的问题。 1893年的世界哥伦比亚博览会迟到了一年，最终庆祝哥伦布到达新世界401周年。尽管他们的迟疑已被历史遗忘症所遗忘，但丹尼尔·伯纳姆（Daniel Burnham）及其经典队列的影响仍以现任市长理查德·戴利（Richard M. Daley）经常拥护的传统形式表现出来。芝加哥最新的市民拖延脚步的例子是湖畔千禧公园，它迟到了四年（或三年，具体取决于您的计算）。但是，与路易斯·沙利文（Louis Sullivan）声称将芝加哥建筑倒退50年的“白色城市”相反，新公园及其令人兴奋的混合使用可能会产生完全相反的效果：将这座城市长期萎靡不振的设计文化推向远方。进入二十一世纪，以大胆的当代姿态捕捉了公众和知名人士的想象力。
