2024 CMAP Municipal Survey

Getting started

As the designated regional planning agency in northeastern Illinois, the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is committed to effectively assessing the needs of the 284 communities within our jurisdiction. Our biennial survey of municipal governments supports a variety of agency priorities including measuring demand for various types of technical assistance (TA), informing policy analysis, and tracking implementation of regional goals.

Our last survey - completed in 2022 - boasted an outstanding response rate of over 86% from our partner municipalities. CMAP looks forward to another great response this year. Thank you in advance for your contributions to this important effort!
