The Chaddick Institute's mission is to advance the principles of effective infrastructure, land use, zoning, and transportation. It seeks to engage professionals, concerned citizens, and students in an educational debate that enhances awareness of development-related issues in our region. The Chaddick Institute, created in 1993, was made possible by a gift from the Harry F. and Elaine M. Chaddick Foundation. Mr. Chaddick was a prominent civil servant and real estate developer in Chicago. He also served as the zoning administrator for the city of Chicago.
