Prioritizing regional coordination The Century Plan is a long-term vision for the region, by the region. The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is bringing the conversation to communities across northeastern Illinois through the Catalyst Series — a set of events centered around in-depth discussions on significant topics that are ripe for regional coordination. Leaders from government, business, civic, and philanthropic spheres are convening at Catalyst Series events to help shape what the region should prioritize in The Century Plan, and how we can take bold action together. Upcoming Catalyst Series event Built for Opportunity: Rethinking Housing for the Next Century Population shifts in northeastern Illinois are changing the kind of housing people need. How must we act together to meet the moment? The solution isn’t just more housing, it’s the right housing, in the right places, at the right prices — for residents of all ages. Regions that get housing right will have a competitive economic edge.
