The Chicago Design System (CDS) is the design system for the people and government of the City of Chicago. It has been produced by policy-makers, technologists, designers, visionaries, and more–all people like you.

I am pleased to announce v0.9 of the Chicago Design System has been released for community feedback prior to launch. See design.chicago.gov for more details, and the quick start to get started.

Thanks to everyone in the credits for their contributions to the public good.

In any project spanning two years and administrations to get to version 0.9, a village doesn’t cut it. It takes a city.

Thank you, Chicago, for all you are and all you can be.
