At the end of January, the City of Pittsburgh’s Department of City Planning kicked off a two-year comprehensive planning process. The Comprehensive Plan will guide the city in creating a safe, welcoming, and thriving community for all residents. 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. Each neighborhood’s plan reflects its character, history, and culture, which is necessary to preserve what makes these communities unique. A citywide comprehensive plan will build on these efforts and will bring a shared vision that connects and aligns future neighborhood plans. More information about the project and how you can get involved is available on the project’s Digital Engagement Hub.
We are excited to join an incredible team led by Toni Griffin, Urban American City, and HR&A. Additional project partners include Buro Happold, Cityfi, Sasaki, Grayscale Collaborative, Common Cause Consultants, 1Hood Media, Brown Mamas, and Alyssa Lyon Environmental Justice Consultant. As the landscape architects on the team, our work is focused on parks, open space, and stormwater management across the City of Pittsburgh.
