More density!
The Twin Cities needs more density at the urban cores of Minneapolis and St. Paul, with more public transportation options, more opportunities for bike routes, and higher walkability.
Thrive MSP 2040 is the Twin Cities region’s long-range planning effort to provide a vision for development and policy guidance for the year 2040. Thrive MSP is an effort of the Metropolitan Council, the agency responsible for planning in the 7-county, Twin Cities metro area. Visit the ThriveMSP web page for more information.

While Minneapolis and St. Paul are off to a great start with bike routes, transit and walkability, focusing increased density in urban/first tier suburban areas makes more sense than in far suburban areas. The more people we have using these types of infrastructure, the more political support there will be for funding them. The Met Council should require cities to show their commitment to increased density through zoning near transit stops before, during, and after spending millions of dollars on transit investments.
