Mayor Bowser Launches DC 2050, the Districts Next Comprehensive Plan

Mayor Muriel Bowser has unveiled DC 2050, a comprehensive plan aimed at shaping Washington, DC's urban development through 2050. This initiative, the first major overhaul since 2006, seeks to create a roadmap for housing, job creation, and neighborhood connectivity. The DC Office of Planning is actively inviting residents, businesses, and community organizations to participate in this inclusive planning process. With an anticipated population of 845,000 and 1 million jobs by 2050, the plan emphasizes equitable growth across all eight wards, ensuring access to affordable housing and economic opportunities. The launch event took place at The Strand in Deanwood, which showcases how historic spaces can be revitalized to serve community needs.

Residents can engage further by taking the DC 2050 Vision Survey and attending upcoming public meetings. This initiative not only addresses immediate urban challenges but also lays the groundwork for a thriving and dynamic city. For more information and participation details, visit DC2050. com.
