The goals and policy recommendations in this plan are based on an understanding that both public and private actions shape the places we experience every day—the places we live, work, and play. It establishes a vision for future public and private investment in buildings and infrastructure. The power to regulate land use and development regulations is one of the strongest tools municipalities have to influence the way a city feels and functions—from the macro level of major corridors and interactions with surrounding municipalities to the micro level of neighborhoods, streetscapes, and individual blocks.
