Burnham 's city planning projects did not stop at Chicago though . Burnham had previously contributed to plans for cities such as Cleveland ( the 1903 Group Plan ) , San Francisco ( 1905 ) , and Manila ( 1905 ) and Baguio in the Philippines , details of which appear in the 1909 '' Plan of Chicago '' publication . His plans for the redesign of San Francisco were delivered to the Board of Supervisors in September 1905 , but in the haste to rebuild the city after the 1906 earthquake and fires , Burnham ’s plans were ultimately ignored . In the Philippines , Burnham ’s Plan for Manila never materialized due to the outbreak of World War II and the relocation of the capital to another city after the war . Some components of the plan , however , did come into fruition including the shore road , which became Dewey Boulevard ( now known as Roxas Boulevard ) and the various neoclassical government buildings around Luneta Park , which very much resemble a miniature version of Washington , D.C. , in their arrangement
