Abstract
The completion of the land use and population inventories of the Chicago Area Transportation Study in 1956 creates a unique opportunity for examining some of the changes that have taken place in land use and population since the Chicago Land Use Survey of 1941. Generalized land use is roughly indicative of the “kind” of activity taking place on the land, and the number of square miles devoted to each use is a crude measure of the “amount” of that activity. Analysis of trends in the utilization of land and in the size and distribution of the resident population provides insights into the mechanics of the urban structure and indicates the most likely course of its future development.
