Case Study: Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning achieves greater public attention for infrastructure investments with CLEVER°FRANKE

Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning educates 284 communities with CLEVER°FRANKE

The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) faced the challenge of communicating the complex infrastructure needs outlined in its 'GO TO 2040' regional plan to policymakers, media, and the public to secure crucial investments. To educate these audiences on the what and why behind the strategies, CMAP enlisted CLEVER°FRANKE to create an engaging, data-rich narrative.

CLEVER°FRANKE developed a microsite featuring interactive data visualizations and zoomable 3D maps built with three.js and AngularJS. This solution provided a single source to turn complex data into compelling stories, enabling CMAP to effectively shape public discussion. The project garnered significant positive recognition across the region and the U.S., successfully calling attention to the important issue of infrastructure funding and providing CMAP with a vital tool for ongoing communication.
