Transition Chicago (TC) was formed by a group of Chicago citizens trying to answer a single question:
“What would it take to make the City of Chicago sustainable by 2025 with a high quality of life?”
It’s urgency is predicated on several emerging trends that any of which by themselves would be hard for today’s society to manage, but the confluence of timing has brought many of them upon us at once. Those challenges include:
- Climate Change
- Peak Oil
- Financial turmoil
To prepare for those three major trends, we will need to become more resilient (reducing single points of failure), community based-self reliant and relocalized to be ready for the challenges ahead. Transition Chicago wants to engage with local experts and groups from the region and beyond to create a vision of what a sustainable, high quality of life City of Chicago could look like. Once that vision is created, we would like to share it with anyone and everyone to help people visualize a possible outcome.
