The Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) is a Chicago-based organization that focuses on promoting equitable and sustainable development in the region. Through their various initiatives, such as Change Lab and the Zoning and Land Use Assessment project, MPC aims to address issues related to racial justice, economic development, housing, education, and criminal justice. They work collaboratively with advocates, the public sector, and private entities to effect structural change and institutionalize equity.
MPC's efforts are guided by their comprehensive agenda, Our Equitable Future (OEF), which was developed in response to the findings of their landmark study, The Cost of Segregation. With a focus on transparency and community engagement, MPC strives to shed light on the health, equity, and sustainability implications of Chicago's zoning and land use practices. As an influential organization in the region, MPC also produces briefing books, provides testimony, and collaborates with other entities to shape policies and plans that prioritize affordable housing, climate resilience, equitable development, and transportation.
