Living on an increasingly urbanized planet, cities must accommodate more people, use less water and energy, and produce less waste. Cities must achieve balance with nature so that air and water are clean, and plants and animals thrive. Cities must be places of great beauty and civic pride that inspire people to do great things. Wilson is addressing these important 21st century challenges for the evolution of cities today.
Wilson is deeply committed to elevating the quality of design in American Cities. He led the preparation of the Chicago Central Area Action Plan that identifies priority projects related to land use and zoning, transportation, and urban design in Downtown Chicago. The Action Plan is the first comprehensive planning document adopted by the Chicago City Council since Burnham and Bennett’s 1909 Plan of Chicago.
Other major projects in Chicago include the Chicago Riverwalk, Chicago Lakeside Development and Regulatory Approvals, planning for Chicago’s Olympic Bid, and the LISC New Communities Program for fourteen Chicago neighborhoods, the largest neighborhood planning initiative ever conducted in America.
Key projects in North America include the Northeast El Paso Smart Growth Plan for a 500 acre expansion of the city, the Downtown Capital District Plan for Trenton, New Jersey, and multiple plans for communities recovering from natural disasters in association with the Federal Government.
Since 2009, Wilson has collaborated on a pro-bono project calling for a 100 year vision for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River Region. This ongoing project has been endorsed by the US/Canadian International Joint Commission and the Mayors of eighty-six US and Canadian cities.
Internationally, Wilson’s work is focused on the redevelopment of existing cities and urban districts, and the design of new, large scale cities. Wilson was the Urban Design and Planning Director for the Beijing CBD Eastern Expansion Plan that received the 2011 AIA National Regional and Urban Design Award. Following this, Wilson moved to India where he led a design team in the preparation of the Jaypee City Master Plan. This city will accommodate a daytime population of two million people and construction is underway.
From 2010 to 2012, Wilson led an international design team in the preparation of a master plan for King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy, KA-CARE, in Saudi Arabia. The high performance design recommendations developed for this city would enable it to use less than twenty-five percent of the fossil-fuel-generated energy consumed by existing Saudi cities, use seventy percent less water, and send less than five percent of waste to landfill. Advances in city design developed through this work are directly transferrable to cities around the world.

Central Area
The Central Area Action Plan is the product of an eighteen month planning process to identify and prioritize the next generation of land use, zoning, transportation and urban design policies and projects for Downtown Chicago and adjacent neighborhoods.
Mayor Richard M. Daley assembled a Steering Committee of thirty business and civic leaders to guide the process.
The Chicago Department of Zoning and Land Use Planning, in collaboration with the Chicago Department of Transportation, provided direction for the project and coordinated with other government agencies including the Department of the Environment, Chicago Transit Authority, the Chicago Park District and Chicago Public Schools.

Washington Park ConceptDeveloped in Association with Peter Schaudt, FASLA
Pre Games Condition Washington Park is a 372 acre public park located adjacent to the University of Chicago on the city’s south side. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1870’s and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
The park contains active recreation playfields, a network of lagoons and forested areas, a public school and the DuSable Museum of African American History.
Olympic Games Plan The Olympic Stadium would be located in Washington Park and designed as a temporary structure. The stadium would accommodate 85,000 spectators and be the location of the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as track and field athletics.
Legacy Plan After the Olympic Games a 2,500 seat structure would remain to serve the recreation needs of the community and commemorate the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The New Communities Program is a long-term initiative to support comprehensive community development in Chicago neighborhoods.
It seeks to rejuvenate challenged communities, bolster those in danger of losing ground and preserve the diversity of areas in the path of gentrifi cation.
LISC works with communities to develop “Quality-of-Life Plans” that identify physical and social development needs.
The New Communities Program then channels tens of millions of dollars in private and public resources into NCP neighborhoods to implement the plans.

IssuesThis is one of the fi rst things to be discussed, and you’ll return to the “issue list” often.
Community HistoryThe recent past will help determine your next steps. Vision, Strategies,
Projects and ProgramsThese are the core elements of the plan and should be as specifi c as possible.
MapsThe task force will defi ne neighborhood boundaries and identify streets and locations where changes are desired.
PhotosThe photos should show your community’s assets and potential, but not ignore the areas needing work.
Renderings of Proposed ProjectsA professional planner will help each group envision what one or more projects would look like.
Work ProgramEach major project will be on this list, along with a timeframe for getting it done.
Recipe for Planning
The planning process results in a publication about 40 pages in length that shows where the neighborhood has been and where it would like to be in fi ve years. Here are some of the ingredients that your task force will work with as it builds its community plan.

Air Pollution
The average power generating plant was built in 1964 using 1950’s technology.
Fossil fuel generating plants are large contributors of CO2 into the earth’s atmosphere.
Mercury is deposited into the lakes from fossil fuel generating plants.
Nuclear waste is often stored on site at generating plants.
Nuclear and fossil fuel generating plants use huge amounts of water in the generation process. Water use rivals agricultural and domestic uses in the basin.
Areas of Concern
Areas of Concern (AOC) are environmentally degraded areas within the Great Lakes basin. The US-Canada Water Quality Agreement, 1987 Protocol, defines 43 AOCs.

Issues
106 Great Lakes Vision
Agricultural Runoff
Runoff from agriculture is one of the primary polluters in the Great Lakes and region. Although pesticide and herbicide pollution remain major issues, the increased levels of phosphorus, found in fertilizer, have come to the forefront of critical non-point source pollution.
Phosphorus feeds algae, which in turn depletes oxygen in freshwater creating eutrophication zones or “dead zones.” Without proper erosion control, enormous sediment buildup must be dredged from shipping channels on a regular basis. Although BMPs have been established by several governmental agencies they remain largely voluntary. Through political leveraging, “agribusiness,” unlike other industries, has largely avoided the regulation of its operations and handling of its waste.
Urban Runoff and Sanitary Sewer Overflows
During heavy rain events, the capacity of municipal sewer systems can be overloaded and cause harmful overflows.
Untreated or partially treated wastewater and sewage may back up into basements, run down streets or directly enter water bodies. Untreated waste-water contains harmful pathogens, as well as high levels of nutrients, organic matter and solids that can cause algae blooms and other eutrophication impacts in the water bodies.
When precipitation falls or melts, it washes pollutants off the street and land causing urban runoff. This urban runoff carries pollutants from our cars, storage piles, construction sites and pesticide spills directly to the lakes.

Uncertainty of Climate Change
The water level in the Great Lakes has varied only about six feet during the last century.
