Chicago is transforming Grant Park, at the center of downtown, into what mayor Richard Daley calls “one of the finest recreational and cultural spaces of any city in the world.” When it opens next summer, the “re-christened Millennium Park will feature a 125-tonne steel sculpture by Anish Kapoor, a 220-foot-long video-fountain by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, a gleaming metallic bandshell by Frank Gehry, and a garden by landscapist Kathryn Gustafson, who won the Princess Diana Memorial competition for Hyde Park.”
