Our Themes

​

Drawing from the American Planning Association's report Sustaining Places: Best Practices for Comprehensive Plans, staff identified four overarching themes to guide this plan:

​

• Livable Places

• Inclusive Economy

• Harmony with Nature

• Healthy Communities

​

Priority Topics

​

Working with our Community Engagement Leadership team and residents through a series of Open House meetings, we identified priority topics under each theme. 

​

We are preparing background documents for each topic that can be found on this webpage.

​

During Fall 2022, we are inviting the public to collaboratively develop recommendations for each priority topic at a series of public "Shape Your City" Workshops. Please see our engagement webpage for more.

​

At public workshops throughout the City of Baltimore in Fall 2022, the public will contribute ideas towards a "menu of recommendations" to address each topic. 

​

In 2023, this menu of recommendations will feed directly into the plan draft document. Each recommendation will be analyzed and prioritized according to equity and impact.
