MOVEMENT
The City Beautiful Movement was a reform
philosophy of North
American architecture and urban
planning that flourished during the 1890s and
1900s with the intent of
introducing beautification and monumental g

with Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit,
and Washington, D.C., promoted beauty not
only for its own sake, but also to create moral
and civic virtue among urban populations.
