Chicago City Builders Book Club: The Loop

Join us for the August gathering of the Chicago City Builders Book Club!

This ongoing series brings together professional city builders to discuss Chicago-centric books that explore the city’s urban and political landscape.

We meet every six weeks at locations near the Loop for lively conversation, local snacks, and civic camaraderie.

This month, we’re reading The Loop: The “L” Tracks That Saved and Shaped Chicago by Patrick Reardon, an exploration of how a stretch of elevated track transformed the city’s identity.

Whether you’re a planner, policymaker, designer, or just a lover of cities, you’re welcome in the circle.
