Housing developments, building on green fields and derelict land brought back in to use... what do you want to see at the end of your road in 20 years?
Almost 8,000 new homes must be built in Chesterfield over the next two decades - and town leaders have revealed where most of the properties could go.
Some greenfield land will be developed to achieve the target and residents are being urged to have a say on the proposals.
Potential sites include Chesterfield town centre where 903 dwellings are planned and Chatsworth Road district is set for 495 new houses.
In Staveley 600 homes could be built, with most set for land west of Inkersall Road and Bent Lane. Major developments are also proposed for Duckmanton - which could see 956 new homes - and Mastin Moor where 878 houses are planned.
Almost half the 7,600 dwellings needed are already accounted for in two large developments across the borough. Two-thousand homes are proposed for the Staveley and Rother Valley Corridor Area and 1,500 houses have outline planning consent as part of the Waterside scheme.
There are a further nine developments with planning permission including the former Chesterfield rugby club where 127 homes are planned, Derby Road which is set for 83 houses and Saltergate recreation ground where 68 homes are proposed.
The council is now asking residents for their views.
