After the fire, the people of Chicago started a frantic rebuilding process. The city grew so fast that space became very limited. An architect named William Le Baron Jenney then came up with the idea to "build upwards instead of outwards". He designed the first skyscraper- the Home Insurance Building. It was completed in 1885. At the time, the ten-story building was considered a triumph of engineering, and soon Chicago was full of the new structures. And from there they spread to other cities. So not only did the fire modernize Chicago, but the world also. Hope that helps. I like skyscrapers and cities alot so I research them every chance I get! :)
