芝加哥河畔是前戴利市长执导的众多改造芝加哥河的举措之一，将改善城市的生态和休闲功能。他的目标是最终能有一个"适合钓鱼和游泳"的芝加哥河。由于河流被严重污染，这在20年前是绝不可能的。但今天，该愿景正在成为现实。最近对河水质量的改善以及增加的河岸公共休闲功能，显示着沿河不断发展的生命力，表现了与水岸连接的新潜力。Sasaki在之前研究的基础上，制定了从州街到湖街河滨公共领域延伸区的芝加哥河畔概念性规划。芝加哥河畔概念性规划受到滨河生活的启发，确定了未来公共通道的框架，从湖泊一直延伸到河流城市支流的交汇处。设计团队在批准的25英尺宽的河流建造区中扩大了步行空间指标，并创造了桥下连接。该河流的扩建完成了19世纪著名城市规划师丹尼尔伯纳姆为沿瓦克尔大道的芝加哥公共散步大道制定的历史性远景。概念性规划最终将各个桥楼之间的所有拱形空间全部连接起来，形成一个通达的人行步道系统。为了进一步彰显河流新的或潜在的连接，每个街区都呈现出以河流为基础的不同形态和开发内容类型。这些河流空间包括码头广场、小海湾、河滨剧院、游泳深水潭、防波堤和钓鱼潭。作为相互连接的步道系统，概念性规划的框架提供了连续性，并且赋予各种类型空间独特的开发内容和形式。此种多样性创造了河畔丰富的体验，从独特的餐饮空间，到广泛的公共活动，再到人力小船的新娱乐设施。Sasaki与核心的设计团队合作，其中包括Ross Barney建筑师事务所和Alfred Benesch工程师事务所以及广泛的技术顾问团队，目前正在为芝加哥河畔前三个街区制定施工图。

The Chicago Riverwalk is one of a number of initiatives to reclaim the Chicago River for the ecological and recreational benefit of the city. The goal of creating a fishable and swimmable river seemed impossible twenty years ago given the river's high levels of pollution. But today the vision is becoming a reality. The recent improvements in river water quality and the increased intensity of public recreational river use signal a growing life along the river， and suggest new potential connections with the water's edge. Building off previous studies， Sasaki developed the Chicago Riverwalk Concept Plan for the continuation of the riverfront public realm from State Street to Lake Street. The Chicago Riverwalk Concept Plan was inspired by the life of the river and finalizes the framework for the future of public access from the lake all the way to the confluence of the river's urban branches. The design team worked within a 25-foot-wide permitted river build-out area to expand the pedestrian program spaces and to create underbridge connections. This expansion into the river completes the historic vision for a Chicago civic promenade along Wacker Drive developed by the famous 19th century urban planner， Daniel Burnham. The concept plan finally joins all the arcade spaces between each bridgehouse into one connected pedestrian path system. Honoring these new connections of and potential for the river， each block takes on the form and program of a different river-based typology. These river spaces include a marina plaza， a cove， a river theater， a swimming hole， a jetty， and a fishing hole. As a connected path system， the concept plan's framework provides continuity while also offering uniqueness through the distinct programs and forms of each typological space. This variety allows for diverse experiences on the river ranging from unique dining opportunities， to expansive public event programming， to new amenities for human-powered craft. Sasaki， along with a core design team including Ross Barney Architects and Alfred Benesch Engineers and a broader technical consultant team， is now in the process of construction documentation for the first three blocks of the Chicago Riverwalk.
