The White City refers to the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago, specifically the fairgrounds designed in a neoclassical architectural style featuring white buildings made of plaster and cement, giving it a striking appearance. Located in Jackson Park, the exposition celebrated the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas. The event showcased innovations in technology and culture, attracting millions of visitors and influencing urban planning and architecture in the U.S. The term "White City" later became synonymous with the idea of urban beauty and progress.
