City Master Plan Process Looking at the Next 20 Years

While the city-wide Master Plan Charrette concluded in May, the Master Plan process remains full-throttle as the city’s consultants, led by noted planner Andres Duany, analyze and assess input from hundreds of Birmingham residents, merchants and stakeholders on their vision for the city’s next 20 years.

The Charrette was a success as Duany and his team from DPZ Co Design discussed and analyzed housing trends, neighborhood development, transportation and a number of other topics during the week-long gathering held from May 14-21. If you could not be part of the Charrette and still want to participate, you still can.

Watch for a second online and hard copy survey available this month. More information on the new survey can be found at www.thebirminghamplan.com.

Additionally, July 8-10 a city-wide Master Plan Drop-in Clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at 255 S. Old Woodward in downtown Birmingham.
