No American city has changed its building height limitations as often as Chicago. The City Council of Chicago changed height limitations three times in 10 years from 1893.There also were a number of attempts to raise or reduce the limitations during the same period. This paper is to review the transition of building height limitations in Chicago from 1893 to 1902, and to clarify Chicago's own social context that caused such changes. Specifically, this paper is to focus on : 1) what were these changes and attempts like and what urban problems were behind these, 2) who took part in a series of discussion in conjunction with building height controls, and for what intentions they tried to change the limitations, and 3) what influence such instable limitations caused to the city and what problems were left after a series of changes.
