About Citywide Planning

The City is embarking on a citywide comprehensive planning process to create a shared vision for the city and its future. Through the citywide planning process, the City aims to develop policy and design goals and actionable recommendations to guide future change and promote the well-being of residents, businesses, and stakeholders in the midst of local, regional, and global trends.

The citywide planning process aims to integrate and build upon the City’s existing policies, programs, and initiatives through an inclusive, wide-reaching process that looks beyond traditional planning efforts to guide future change in Cambridge. During the multi-year process, early action items and pilot projects may be identified and launched.

An interdisciplinary professional consultant team will help guide the planning process, bringing outside expertise to complement and augment the capacity of City staff. This process will engage residents, employers, employees, schools and other institutions, non-profit organizations, regional and state infrastructure and service entities, appointed and elected public officials, and the operational and planning functions in the city.
