The GO TO 2040 Plan: Bold Innovations for a Better Chicago

The GO TO 2040 Plan:  Bold Innovations for a Better Chicago

How will metropolitan Chicago look by the year 2040— and how should it look? This Community Conversation, organized for  the 2008 Chicago Humanities Festival by the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP), will focus on the role of commuter rail and potential regional high-speed rail service.

In the tradition of Daniel Burnham, expert panelists will elucidate the ways in which growth patterns and regional prosperity could be ameliorated through better planning. With its partners, CMAP is developing GO TO 2040, metropolitan Chicago’s first truly comprehensive plan intended to set the region’s course into the heart of the current century.
