In 2008, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) launched its GO TO 2040 planning campaign to develop and implement the region's first truly comprehensive plan for land use and transportation, to be published in 2010.

Please note that this is an archival site.

Metropolitan Chicago's previous regional land-use plan was the NIPC Framework Plan, published in 2005.  That same year, CMAP was created to integrate planning of land use and transportation in the seven counties of northeastern Illinois.  Honored as the American Planning Association's 2006 national plan of the year, NIPC's Framework Plan defined specific strategies to guide future growth in northeastern Illinois.

In 2007, the CMAP Board formally adopted the NIPC Framework Plan.
