In the early days of automobile travel, people naturally wanted to venture further distances as cars could now take them places previously unexplored. There were some unexpected consequences, though.

New York opened the NYS Parkway in 1908, which was used to link cities to recreational areas and parks. A year later, architect Daniel Burnham submitted plans to begin building an elaborate highway system in Chicago that would connect outlying suburbs to the urban center.
