Pittsburgh Comprehensive Plan

In more than 200 years as a chartered city, Pittsburgh has never created an integrated comprehensive plan to guide its growth.

Most plans have been completed at the neighborhood level, with each having its own distinct character, history, and culture. While these neighborhood plans are important, the process has resulted in a patchwork of plans. An integrated, City-wide "Comprehensive Plan" will ensure that future neighborhood plans have a consistent and shared vision for the future.

The comprehensive plan must be driven by the Pittsburgh community, for the Pittsburgh community.

Community engagement will be a top priority in the comprehensive planning process, as this needs to be a plan that guides the future growth and advancement for all Pittsburghers. The City and its consulting team intend to plan with the community, not on behalf of the community.

There will be various ways to engage with the plan including: public events, working groups, and surveys.
