Imagine A Better, Brighter Future. Together.

The Met Council creates a regional development guide every ten years that includes policies for how we'll plan for and interact with land, transportation, water, housing, and parks and trails. Our latest guide – Imagine 2050 – envisions the future we collectively want for this region in 30 years. Local governments will use it to guide decision making and planning for shared infrastructure like roads, sewers, regional parks, housing, water supply, and more.

But we can’t do it alone – we need your help. Please provide feedback on your dream for the future, so we can craft a regional development guide that best serves everyone.

Share your dreams for our region...


  

Imagine 2050 is grounded in policymaking and community engagement. For the first time, we're creating a single plan that will take a comprehensive look at how transportation, water resources, housing, and parks intersect in the region. It will also address critical issues that transcend policy areas, including climate, equity, natural systems, and public health.
