Over the last five years, MetroFuture has engaged 4,500 people in collaborative learning and decision-making about the future of the region. MAPC encouraged participants to look beyond today’s immediate challenges and take a long-range view. Participants also had unprecedented opportunities to use tools and information to help explore regional challenges, understand tradeoffs, and create different scenarios for how the region might grow. 

At the same time, MAPC used the most up-to-date technology and planning tools to understand current trends and to develop alternative scenarios.
