Hi Mai,
These sound great.
Is it possible for you to locate them on Google Maps, or Google Earth and send me links?
You might also want to try contacting the Mayors office in Chicago, I believe they have an environmental department that might be a good resource to either call or email to get specific locations of these plants.
Have you found anything on Heat Islands?
Thanks,
Alex
