Pittsburgh is planning for the future. The city is creating a comprehensive plan through the year 2050. This is the time for you to help shape the future of Pittsburgh. Your feedback, ideas, and comments are absolutely invaluable to shaping this plan.
What Is a Comprehensive Plan?
Pittsburgh describes the plan like this:
“A citywide comprehensive plan expresses a holistic, community-wide vision of the city’s future. It helps city government and its citizens plan for and guide how the city grows and makes improvements by developing goals and policies related to a range of land use, city services, and quality of life topics.”
In simpler terms, it’s a framework that will guide change in the city over the next 25 years.

Pittsburgh’s 2050 Comprehensive Plan
What does Pittsburgh hope to accomplish by adopting a comprehensive plan? In short: a lot.
The plan, as it stands now, covers 20 different policy areas that address both basic and long-term needs. These include essentials like energy, food, and housing—urgent challenges the city must address. But the plan also touches on broader themes such as historic preservation, climate action, and arts & culture.
This shows the city’s commitment to not only meeting critical infrastructure and service needs but also preserving and enriching Pittsburgh’s unique character.
