Greater
Washington 2050 is a new regional
initiative to improve the quality
of life for Washington area residents
in the next 50 years by fostering
stronger regional awareness,
leadership and action today and
in the next few years. Led by
COG and a coalition of public,
business, civic and environmental
stakeholders, Greater Washington
2050 will build on what many
people now believe is an opportunity
for convergence of agreement
on big issues of growth, transportation
and the environment. Greater
Washington 2050 will identify
actions that advance areas of
agreement, assess progress and
measure performance. In short,
Greater Washington 2050 seeks
to shape the future by supporting
sound regional action today.

February 2009, the Greater Washington 2050 Coalition commissioned this public opinion survey to understand residents' priorities and aspirations for the future of the region. The survey reveals area residents' connection to the region and indicates where they want the most emphasis by regional leaders over the coming decades.
Findings from the comprehensive survey were presented at a press conference on May 1st The survey results show support for addressing priorities regionally and view transportation, education, and the economy as the most important long-term issues facing the region. |

November 2008, the Greater Washington 2050 Coalition and regional leaders participated in a full-day scenario thinking workshop to brainstorm how our region could respond to global and national trends that would likely influence our region's future.
The purpose of the scenario workshop was to examine long-term risks and opportunities in the metropolitan region and encourage bold and creative thinking. The process revealed common growth and development strategies for our region to consider when planning for any future.
