GO TO 2040: Metropolitan Chicago's comprehensive regional plan

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning's GO TO 2040 campaign invites you to help our region plan its future through mid-century and beyond. Visit www.cmap.illinois.gov and http://www.goto2040.org.

is making it easy for you to have your say about regional investments and policies. In this new "Invent the Future" public-input phase, you can: * Use our MetroQuest GO TO 2040 web tools to create your own growth scenarios and compare them to CMAPs. * Attend one of 50 GO TO 2040 Invent the Future workshops that CMAP will hold with partners across the seven counties. * Visit one of the interactive GO TO 2040 kiosks at dozens of locations, including Millennium Park, Metra stations, libraries, festivals, and other sites around the region.

The population of metropolitan Chicago is expected to reach 11 million by 2040. To accommodate these 2.8 million new residents, our seven-county region needs to make some critical decisions over the next several years. We cant solve everything at once, so its all about trade-offs.

Should rapid growth outward continue? Or should we consolidate housing and jobs where infrastructure already exists? Should we emphasize roads or transit — or invest in both? How can we reduce energy use while also strengthening our regions economy?

Have Your Say as part of the important new Invent the Future phase of the GO TO 2040 comprehensive planning process.
