On March 21, 2023 the Preservation Compact, Chicago Cityscape, CMAP, and Sightline Planning and Zoning partnered to present a lively, interactive morning of:
- Panels featuring experts on equitable ADU policy, design & construction, and financing;
- Conversations with property owners who have completed a diverse set of ADU projects; and
- Opportunities to shape the development of new resources to support equitable ADU expansion across the Chicago region.
