This disc contains all four components of the Plan as well as additional background and analysis. Photo courtesy of the Dallas Convention &Visitors Bureau elcome to the forwardDallas! Vision. This Vision describes the future of Dallas based on the desires and dreams of thousands of local stakeholders that participated throughout the forwardDallas! WComprehensive Planning process. This document describes the future we envision for Dallas. A City filled with many neighborhoods with unique character, safe parks, bustling transit centers, a thriving urban downtown, and excellent employment opportunities. This can be Dallas’ future, and the forwardDallas! Plan is the strategy to make it happen. The future of Dallas begins now. INTRODUCTION allas is a city of neighborhoods. Residents say they “live in South Dallas” or “live in Pleasant Grove” or “live in DLake Highlands” in the same breath they say they’re “from Dallas.” Families residing in Hidden Valley or Hamilton Park can’t imagine moving anywhere else. Those who call their Oak Cliff neighborhood home think theirs is the quintessential Dallas experience, just as those who reside in an Uptown condo view their urban lifestyle as defining Dallas. ForwardDallas! celebrates these different life experiences—in fact these neighborhoods, each with a unique personality, give Dallas a vibrancy of cultures, lifestyles and economic options missing from so many other urban areas in this nation.
