About this Event
Join us for the September gathering of the Chicago City Builders Book Club!
We bring together professional city builders to discuss Chicago-centric books that explore the city’s political, urban, and design DNA.
We meet every six weeks at locations near the Loop for conversation, snacks, and civic camaraderie.
This month, we’re reading Make No Waves, Don’t Back No Losers: An Insider’s Analysis of the Daley Machine by Milton Rakove, a sharp and often satirical deep dive into the inner workings of Chicago’s most legendary political machine. Come ready to talk patronage, power, and how yesterday’s politics still shape today’s public realm.
Whether you work in policy, planning, infrastructure, or just love this city, you’re welcome in the circle.
