Likely outcomes of alternative land use planning policies are being explored in an open forum to promote positive changes and a better quality of life within the Gateway region.

The University of Illinois LEAM lab, in collaboration with local agencies and stakeholders, is developing gleam, a visually dynamic tool for assessing complex regional growth issues and their potential impacts on the physical, economic, social and environmental quality of the area.

The leam process promotes consensus-building among diverse interests as groups work together to identify and assess emerging issues, and evaluate urban growth patterns to consider if policies are consistent with the needs and wants of local residents.
