Chicago’s Central Planning Area is home to many of the city’s great destinations. It is also home to over 130,000 residents - an increase of 56% since 1970 - who are still forming new neighborhoods in places once occupied by industry or railroad tracks. The Central Area continues to be the economic driver for the Chicago region, providing well over a half million jobs, which account for close to half of Chicago’s total. And while residents rightly point out that Chicago is a city of great neighborhoods, there is no ques-tion that Chicago also has one of the world’s great downtowns. The strat-egies and priority projects articulated in this Action Plan will help to make Central Planning Area neighborhoods even more vibrant.
Chicago’s Central Planning Area is bounded by Division St on the north, Lake Michigan on the east, the Steven-son Expressway on the south, and by N Halsted St and the Kennedy / Dan Ryan Expressway on the west. It contains parts of seven wards, at least fifteen neighborhoods, and seven community areas. Residents enjoy 35 parks, send their children to least 19 local schools, and travel throughout the region from one of 36 train stops located within the Planning Area, including a new Green Line Station at E Cermak Rd.
Among Chicago’s 16 Planning Areas, the Central Area not only provides the most number of jobs and the most transit stops, but also has the city’s fastest growing population and, not surprisingly, the highest use of com-mercial space. It also offers the largest concentration of higher education options, with over 60,000 students working towards a degree in the Loop.
The Central Area’s largest land uses are commercial (30%), residential (19%), and parks and open space (18%). More than a dozen previous plans have been completed for the Central Area since 2000.
But the Central Planning Area is much more than facts and figures. This is where engaged couples find the perfect wedding ring in Jewelers Row; where children find their reflection in a giant bean; and where people of all ages marvel at the 65-million-year-old remains of a Tyrannosaurus Rex named Sue, the largest intact spec-imen ever discovered. This is where only the bold step out onto the world’s highest elevated platform at Willis Tower; where Bears fans brave cold winter days to cheer on their team; and where music lovers listen to concerts in an amazing array of venues, including the city’s front lawn in Grant Park.
GUIDING STRATEGIESThis Action Plan contains Priority Projects that are either in progress or in development, such that they can be reasonably completed within five years, with more projects to be added as the Action Plan continues to grow. These investments will be guided by the following strategies:
1. Guiding Strategy #1
2. Guiding Strategy #2
3. Guiding Strategy #3
4. Guiding Strategy #4.
CONCENTRATION AREASSmaller areas that offer significant opportunities will be the subject of further careful planning and action in the coming months:
A. Concentration area A from N Boundary Street to South Boundary Street, and from West Boundary Street to East Boundary Street
B. Concentration area B from N Boundary Street to South Boundary Street, and from West Boundary Street to East Boundary Street
C. Concentration area C from N Boundary Street to South Boundary Street, and from West Boundary Street to East Boundary Street
The City of Chicago’s Department of Planning and Development will continue to work with aldermen, other City departments and sister agencies, community leaders, investors, and – most importantly – the dedicated residents of the Central Planning Area neighborhoods to improve this Action Plan over time.
