About

The Chaddick Institute, located at DePaul University in Chicago, advances the principles of effective land use, transportation and community planning. Founded in 1993, the institute offers planners, attorneys, developers, and entrepreneurs a forum to share expertise on difficult land-use issues through workshops, conferences and policy studies.

In recent years, the Institute has offered educational events in cooperation with the Illinois Chapter of the American Planning Association, the Midwest High Speed Rail Association, Lambda Alpha International, DePaul's Real Estate Center, Illinois Rail, Scenic Illinois, Women in Planning and Development and other organizations. It provides student scholarships and offers a three-course Certificate in Metropolitan Planning in cooperation with the graduate School of Public.

More than 130 units of government have sent representatives to its technical workshops over the past several years. In 2002, the Institute received an award from the Illinois Chapter of the American Planning Association for its workshop series. It offers a diverse array of publications and books on planning and transportation topics and is regularly quoted by national news organizations.

We are grateful for the financial support for the Institution provided by the Harry F. Chaddick Foundation and other sponsors of our programs.
