[Amalia Rioja] MPC is important to the Chicago region
because they can provide a blueprint
on how we can plan our city and surrounding area
in a way that not just makes economic sense,
but in a way that's equitable for everyone.
[Marsha Cruzan] The Metropolitan Planning Council has brought together
lots of diverse leaders.
The leaders together thoughtfully address
the current challenges.
[Tom Weisner] It's the regional facilitator
for making sure that this area has a bright future,
that we don't get consumed by complacency,
or selfishness,
that we are always talking to each other
and creating solutions for the future.
[Amalia Rioja] It's great to have MPC as thought leaders and experts
that can bring together all these different stakeholders
and be able to have an impact.
[Jahmal Cole] MPC is a powerful organization because
it's not just about research.
Chicago is one of the most segregated cities in the US.
Teenagers on the south and west side are not connected
to the same extent as teenagers
on the north side of Chicago.
They order their food every day
through three inch bullet proof glass windows.
Helicopters fly over their homes every night.
Had it not been for the MPC's report,
I wouldn't have had this ammo to say hey
that's segregation in action.
MPC has done a great job at studying issues
that are relevant and draw empathy out of people.
And that's why I support MPC.
[Debbie Liu] My involvement with MPC really started
with being involved in the Ping Tom Park Advisory Council.
MPC had led community discussions
for Our Great Rivers project.
We were working with MPC throughout the process
to really get enough community feedback.
MPC allowed them to have a space to be urban planners
of their own communities.
[Marsha Cruzan] Developing communities means investing in people
and their hopes and dreams for the future.
But it's also about showing people what's possible.
[Debbie Liu] I appreciate MPC for being intentional
about bringing the community together.
[Tom Weisner] MPC has been the leader in making sure
that we're aware of the issues,
but that we're also given the opportunity
to work together to create solutions.
[Jahmal Cole] Powerful leadership and people that actually care.
That's MPC.
