The year 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of CTBUH, an important occasion that was be commemorated throughout the year via a series of special events and outputs, culminating with the 10th World Congress in Chicago, 20 October–2 November, on the theme “50 Forward | 50 Back.” Each month we examined key moments in the Council’s rich history, which tracked the progression and ascendance of both the organization and dense vertical urbanism on a global scale.
