OUR CITY. OUR PLAN. OUR FUTURE.

The Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan team is committed to listening to the voices of all Charlotteans. African American, Hispanic, Latino, youth, and senior citizen populations are among the many groups who have typically been less engaged in past planning efforts.

We have used social media, workshops, games, online activities, in person interviews, virtual meetings, and other tools to engage our community, but listening and engaging with all communities in Charlotte will ensure an equitable and fair planning process.
