Topic: insight2050

(Online registration and payment available, see bottom of page.)

insight2050 is a community-wide effort to provide important data and analysis to help Central Ohio communities proactively plan for our Region’s growth and development over the next 30+ years. In many ways, this growth is expected to be dramatically different from the past, with an unprecedented 81 percent of our region’s future household growth being households without children. The rapid acceleration in both the aging and diversity of our population, along with changing preferences among key segments of our community, will also have profound impacts on the nature and location of our region’s growth.

As insight2050 clearly demonstrates, the manner in which our region grows over the coming decades clearly matters. The region’s predominant growth patterns and types of development will have significant impacts on our future plans for, and investments in, public infrastructure. It will impact the quality of the air we breathe and therefore the health of our residents. It will most certainly affect the amount of land we continue to consume to accommodate this growth, and perhaps most importantly it will likely have substantial impacts upon the long-term economic competiveness of our region.
