Comprehensive Plan

Originally adopted in 2006, the mission of forwardDallas! is to holistically direct the City’s policies and actions related to land use, housing, transportation, neighborhoods, environment, economic development and urban design, in accordance with the visions of thousands of community stakeholders, to ensure Dallas thrives as a vibrant, diverse city amid rapid growth and modernization. Currently, the City of Dallas is working on the ForwardDallas Comprehensive Land Use Update, to update future land use in light of modern considerations such as an emphasis on inclusivity, consideration of climate change, and the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. More information about the update can be found on the forwardDallas update page.
