Title
Imagine 2050 Community Designations [Minnesota]
Description
The Metropolitan Council's Imagine 2050, the regional development guide for the Twin Cities region, was adopted on February 12, 2025. This dataset reflects the agreed upon community designations between a community and the Metropolitan Council and is intended to work in concert with land use policies to guide growth in areas with urban infrastructure; establish distinct land use policies and density expectations' protect agricultural land and natural amenities; and outline strategies to meet the region's forecasted growth. Community designations are further used to plan and implement regional policies at the local level., This dataset was created to allow the depictions of Imagine 2050 Community Designations. , Planning areas were first defined to analyze land use and development trends and socio-economic characteristics to assist in preparing the Council's 1975 Metropolitan Development Framework. They have subsequently been used for a wide range of general analysis purposes. These areas were defined to reflect stages of development of metropolitan area communities. A major factor in their determination has been the proportion of land developed. As such, these areas have been periodically adjusted to reflect the continued outward growth of the region. The Metropolitan Council originally approval the 2050 community designations on February 12, 2025. As communities adopted their 2050 Comprehensive Plans, changes to community designations will be made to reflect municipal boundaries and Metropolitan Urban Service Areas (MUSA) in their plans. Data is current as of April 27, 2025.
