GO TO 2040 is the Chicago region’s first comprehensive regional plan since the 1909 Plan of Chicago. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) launched it in the fall of 2010, after three and a half years in the making and informed by direct input from tens of thousands of residents from across the region. GO TO 2040 delivers a vision for and concrete action steps towards a brighter future.
The challenge now is implementing the plan – and CMAP can’t do it alone.
“Implementing GO TO 2040: A Plan for Chicagoland’s Future,” co-sponsored by CMAP and the Metropolitan Planning Council, is a four-part roundtable series exploring how -- in an ever-expanding world economy -- metropolitan roadmaps are essential guides to keeping our communities competitive. At this first roundtable in this series, we will:
- Provide an overview of the plan, CMAP’s current priorities, and momentum already underway towards implementation.
- Showcase regional efforts from other parts of the Midwest that are taking on similar comprehensive planning approaches beyond traditional land use and transportation.
- Share how Youngstown, Ohio, is sparking an economic resurgence through targeted investment and regional partnerships.
- Describe how Rockford, Ill., and Northwest Indiana are taking similar approaches to their regional planning and advancing on-the-ground implementation.
