When the UIC Department of Urban Planning and Policy was founded in
1973, Chicago was a very different city. What will the next 50 years bring,
and how will Chicago confront the challenges of climate change, growing
income inequality and health disparities? How will a multicultural,
globally-connected and polarized city with a rich legacy of city planning
and architectural vernacular embrace future uncertainty? How will its
population and built environment shape and be shaped by employment
trends, migration patterns and environmental threats? Which neighborhoods
will experience growth and which will decline?

The UIC Urban Forum has a history of deliberating important questions
facing today’s cities. Join us for the 2024 event where leaders from the
city’s planning, policy, nonprofit and arts communities will share bold visions
for Chicago’s future.
