===Plans in additional cities=== [[Image:Burnham San Francisco.jpg|thumb|upright=1.25|Burnham and Bennett's plan for [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]]]] Burnham's city planning projects did not stop at Chicago. Burnham had previously contributed to plans for cities such as [[Cleveland, Ohio|Cleveland]] (the 1903 [[Group Plan]]),<ref>{{cite report |url=http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/grouplan/assets/Group_Plan_of_1903.pdf |title=The Group Plan of the Public Buildings of the City of Cleveland |author1=Burnham, Daniel H. |author2=Carrere, John M. |author3=Brunner, Arnold W. |publisher=City of Cleveland |date=August 1903 |access-date=January 31, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161007192212/http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/grouplan/assets/Group_Plan_of_1903.pdf |archive-date=October 7, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]] (1905),<ref>{{cite report |url=https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000343514 |title=Report on a plan for San Francisco |author1=Burnham, Daniel H. |author1-link=Daniel Burnham |author2=Bennett, Edward H. |author2-link=Edward H.

His plans for the redesign of San Francisco were delivered to the Board of Supervisors in September 1905,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://cdnc.ucr.edu/cgi-bin/cdnc?a=d&d=SFC19110812.2.74 |title=Burnham's Plan for the Adornment of the Exposition City |author=Adams, C.F. |date=August 12, 1911 |newspaper=San Francisco Call |volume=110 |number=73 |page=19 |access-date=January 31, 2017}}</ref> but in the haste to rebuild the city after the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake|1906 earthquake and fires]] Burnham's plans were ultimately ignored. In the Philippines, Burnham's plan for Manila never materialized due to the outbreak of [[World War II]] and the relocation of the capital to [[Quezon City|another city]] after the war. Some components of the plan, however, did come into fruition including the shore road which became Dewey Boulevard (now known as [[Roxas Boulevard]]) and the various neoclassical government buildings around [[Rizal Park|Luneta Park]], which very much resemble a miniature version of Washington, D.C., in their arrangement. In [[Washington, D.C.]], Burnham did much to shape the 1901 [[McMillan Plan]] which led to the completion of the overall design of the [[National Mall]]. The Senate Park Commission, or McMillan Commission established by Michigan Senator James McMillan, brought together Burnham and three of his colleagues from the World's Columbian Exposition: architect [[Charles Follen McKim]], landscape architect [[Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.]], and sculptor [[Augustus Saint-Gaudens]]. Going well beyond [[Pierre L'Enfant]]'s original vision for the city, the plan provided for the extension of the Mall beyond the [[Washington Monument]] to a new [[Lincoln Memorial]] and a "pantheon" that eventually materialized as the [[Jefferson Memorial]]. This plan involved significant reclamation of land from swamp and the [[Potomac River]] and the relocation of an existing railroad station, which was replaced by Burnham's design for [[Washington Union Station]].<ref>Movie: "Make No Little Plans"</ref> As a result of his service on the McMillan Commission, in 1910 Burnham was appointed a member and first chairman of the [[United States Commission of Fine Arts]] helping to ensure implementation of the McMillan Plan's vision. Burnham served on the commission until his death in 1912.<ref>Thomas E.
