Planning for Growth

Online engagement tool shapes the City’s future

The latest phase of our work with the City of Minneapolis launched this week: A new online, interactive engagement tool designed to involve residents in shaping the next 20 years of City development.

Minneapolis 2040

This visual story utilizes a scrolling technique called “parallax,” which creates a deeper, more immersive online experience. Visitors to the page will be introduced to City planning information in a new & fun way, and have the opportunity to leave feedback on the action items presented. Their comments will inform Minneapolis planners’ decision-making on future City policies.

Feedback collected during this phase of development will go into the City’s Comprehensive Plan, titled Minneapolis 2040. The plan will cover topics such as housing, job access, the design of new buildings, as well as how we use our streets — all in the name of smart, sustainable development.
