2024 Central Area Plan Update Open House

Join the Department of Planning and Development for an Open House to discuss the 2024 Central Area Plan Update.

The Chicago Department of Planning and Development (DPD) is initiating the Central Area Plan Update, a two-year planning process to envision how the city's central area can better serve its many stakeholders.

The two-phase effort is starting with a series of conversations with a diverse set of key constituents. Public insight and feedback on topics such as housing, transportation, economic development and arts and culture will help create an updated vision for how downtown growth can serve all Chicagoans over the next 20 years. 

Join ongoing discussions and share ideas for updating the City's 2003 "Central Area Plan." Stakeholders are encouraged to reference the City's 2009 "Central Area Action Plan" and 2021 "Central City Recovery Roadmap" for information about the City's formal planning goals and accomplishments within the area.
