Revitalized neighborhoods. Shorter commutes. A business corridor stretching from Northeast Maryland to Hampton Roads, Virginia. By most accounts, the region will look radically different in twenty years. We get some predictions on our economic, cultural, and aesthetic future -- and hear your wish list for the area where you live.

Douglas Fruehling, Senior Editor, Washington Business Journal

Ellen McCarthy, outgoing Director, D.C. Office of Planning

Robert E. Lang, Director, Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech in Alexandria, Virginia; and Associate Professor, School of Planning and International Affairs, Virginia Tech
