This summer the City of Charlotte Planning, Design & Development Department kicked-off the Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map process as a first step in putting the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan into action.

Now that the community has shared their input to help map our future growth, it's time to review the DRAFT outcome together. Join us in October to discuss how the Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map and the Charlotte Streets Map will inform future growth, development, and mobility throughout the city.
  • The Charlotte Future 2040 Policy Map is a companion to the Charlotte Future 2040 Comprehensive Plan and identifies appropriate locations for future development in our neighborhoods.
  • The Charlotte Streets Map identifies the multimodal vision for Charlotte's streets to support mobility between the places you live, work, and play.
