Chicago Visit

I'll be going on a business trip to Chicago and have never been there.
Any car free Chicagoans here? Is it really feasible to fly into O'Hare and
take public transport downtown? My hotel is 7 blocks from the work site,
can I get by without a rental car in the downtown? My mental image of midwestern cities is strip mall after strip mall separated by dead end cookie
cutter neighborhoods. This image comes from flying over them. Is downtown
Chicago walkable? The map shows a grid layout bounded by a lake and cut
by a river. What is the ground truth?
