Working with communities to plan for the future The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) partners with communities throughout northeastern Illinois to address transportation, land use, housing, economic growth, community development, and more. We have projects happening all around the seven-county region. Community members — just like you — are key to creating plans that reflect the values and priorities of the people who live and work in northeastern Illinois. Help shape your community by sharing your thoughts, ideas, and concerns on CMAP’s planning projects. View our current projects below.
