Metro’s Future 50 Vision

Original release from Metro

Project status: In progress

Start date: June 11, 2025

Estimated completion date: May 31, 2027

Fifty years from now, the way people live, work and build their lives in the region will be the result of the choices we make today. As the regional government, Metro is setting the table to collaborate with cities, counties, communities, individuals and organizations across greater Portland to build a shared vision for the future.

The Future Vision will set the course for policies, programs and projects that will work toward a better future for the greater Portland region. It will touch on a wide range of topics, from land use, transportation and our economy to housing, climate, nature, arts and culture.

Future 50 Survey

This survey will ask you about what makes this region special to you, the things you want to preserve, and the issues you are concerned about. Your responses will inform regional values and guiding principles that are the foundation of the Future Vision document. The Vision will ultimately inform regional planning policies, investments and partnerships that shape how this region develops. The vision will only be as strong, inclusive, and forward-thinking as the voices that shape it.

Take 10 minutes today for this survey and make your voice heard. You could win tickets to a Thorns game, the Oregon Symphony, the Oregon Zoo or an annual Metro Regional Parks pass. Please consider sharing the survey with at least three other people in your community.
