Future of the Central Area
Central Area Plan CCAC & LAI Virtual Progress Update and Discussion

Heidi Sperry, Director of Planning and Development with the City of Chicago, has requested that we share some exciting updates regarding the city’s updates to the Central Area Plan.

Phase I updates were mostly conducted in 2023 and completed in early 2024. It analyzed the existing conditions in the Central Area and crafted a vision for the future of downtown. Phase II is currently underway and is focused on outlining the goals and actions required to achieve the vision along with estimating potential growth over the next 20 years and identifying catalytic projects that can support growth.

While several members of LAI Chicago Region Chapter have been involved, the city is offering a virtual progress update and discussion on Thursday, December 12 from 12pm-1:30pm for members of the Central Area Committee and the broader LAI Chicago Region Chapter membership. During this session, the planning team will recap the work to date and present draft growth scenarios and catalytic projects identified for the Central Area. The planning team will offer interactive exercises and discussions to get feedback before they roll these out to the public.
