What type of global city?

What type of global city do you envision (or want) Chicago to be? If you had a choice of either of the following paths, what would you choose: • the city continuing on its current path of massive development, but development with low density components and a steady rate of growth • a more massive NYC type of growth: far greater density, much greater increase in population, perhaps more transient in nature because of it In other words, do you prefer the current steady growth and ability to control the environment while still offering a full range of urban amenities -or- a higher paced, denser, more congested and less under controls of our own environment thatwe've been able to keep in place here (that NYC hasn't)>
