自然地理
Chicago, seat of Cook County, Northeastern Illinois, is the third largest U.S. city. It is the center of a vast metropolitan area (1990 pop. 8,065,633), on Lake Michigan; incorporated in 1837. It is a major GREAT LAKES port and the leading commercial, financial, industrial, and cultural center of the nation's interior. Chicago's geographic location as a transportation link between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River system made its importance in trade and industry almost inevitable. Because Lake Michigan extends so far south, railways running east-west across the Midwest tended to converge at the lake's southern tip and thus helped make Chicago the largest railway center in the United States. Downtown Chicago (The Loop) has a dramatic skyline with some of the world's tallest skyscrapers. The North Side, mainly residential, stretches some 20 mi (32 km) along the lake.
The West Side is a mix of European ethnic neighborhoods that developed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Most of the city's African Americans, nearly 40% of the population, live in the industrialized South Side. Chicago meets its suburbs in a ragged pattern of boundaries on the north, west, and south, while on the east the curving lakefront trends northwest and southeast along a narrow lakeside strip. The lakeshore is the city's prime scenic resource, and to a degree unusual among the world's metropolises it has been largely preserved as parkland, open space, and beach. The entire mass of the metropolitan area reaches out over the former prairie, spilling over city limits into a continually expanding belt of suburbs and industrial satellites. Parks and forest preserves are scattered throughout the area. The city's site is generally level, built mostly on a postglacial plain.
The narrow Chicago River extends one mile inland from Lake Michigan, where it splits, dividing the city into North, West, and South sides. Chicago's climate is subject to rapid fluctuation. The lake mitigates extremes for nearby areas, but overall the climate is cold and windy in the winter and hot in the summer. Occasional heavy snow contributes to the annual precipitation of about 33 inches (838 mm).
