Experience

Chicago has embraced the concept of “New Urbanism”, and is committed to providing opportunities for residents to live, work and play in an environment that is healthy, sustainable and economically viable. Uraia provides an opportunity to both share our experiences and learn from the experiences of others.

Chicago seeks to implement technology any time it improves the lives of the residents of the City.

"A sustainable Chicago is a city that spends less on energy use with each passing year, creates good-paying jobs in up-and-coming industries, responsibly maintains and upgrades its infrastructure, and ensures every Chicagoan has the opportunity to live a healthy and active lifestyle." - Mayor Rahm Emanuel
