"We Will Chicago" is a three-year, citywide planning initiative that will encourage neighborhood growth and vibrancy while addressing social and economic inequities that impair Chicago’ s legacy as a global city.

The City of Chicago, led by the Department of Planning and Development (DPD), joined with its partners to launch a public engagement effort in fall 2020 to solicit feedback on the broad, overriding goals of We Will Chicago and the process for the initiative itself.

These initial steps included dialogue with planning, corporate and community partners in other cities as well as a series of virtual topic forums for Chicago residents.
