You can help CMAP create an inclusive and thriving region. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is always looking for ways to engage with residents and partners to help communities prosper. We have multiple ways to get involved. Help shape your community by sharing your thoughts and ideas on CMAP’s projects. CMAP’s public participation plan guides the agency’s proactive engagement of the residents and constituencies in northeastern Illinois and establishes core values for how we integrate meaningful public engagement into our planning initiatives.
