Horizon 2020. 25 Years of Planning – A Retrospective

Summary

HORIZON 2020 takes a clear-eyed look at the results of Metroplan’s ambitious METRO 2020 plan, which was adopted in 1995. Published in September 2019, HORIZON 2020 centers on the promise of the vision and examines how that vision has advanced in the twenty-five years since its adoption. We explore questions like, “What did METRO 2020 get right? Where did it fall short? What effect did METRO 2020 have on the region? What lessons have we learned in two decades of oversight and implementation?”

This report is more than a retrospective. It strives to make a clear judgment on past efforts and encourage fresh thinking as the region sets out on the post-2020 future.
