    Woman's Athletic Club, 626 N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago

    Chicago's Department of Planning and Development recently released the Central Area Plan 2045 that includes bold ideas and goals for the development of the city's downtown area. 

    Join us to hear from several of the individuals who developed the plan and conducted the research behind it. 

    We'll receive an in-depth, insider view of what the plan contains, how the recommendations were created and possible steps forward to make the plan a reality.

    LAI Chicagoland Chapter members will be significant participants in bringing this plan to life and this is our opportunity to hear from the plan creators and begin to map our own path to making it happen.
