Atlanta’s Department of City Planning is working to directly connect with residents as it updates the city’s comprehensive development plan. 

City officials initially adopted its plan in 2021, better known as “Plan A.” The proposal outlines potential improvements to several city areas, such as neighborhoods. The state requires cities to update their development plans every five years by law.

Officials hosted a series of community meetings this week about the plan in collaboration with the city’s Neighborhood Planning Units.
