New Haven, CT
Home Menu2003 Comprehensive Plan
The plan's primary focus is physical development and environmental protection, seeking to identify the most desirable and sustainable use of land in a fully-developed urban landscape.
The plan also serves to guide the related city policies concerning housing and neighborhood preservation, economic development and transportation policy. Special emphasis is placed on the city's waterfront and downtown areas, both of which are unique destinations with a regional appeal.
The Commission's recommendations are organized in three directives: Quality Standard, Regional Standing and Sense of Place. These directives are intended to be the guiding principles upon which to rest both major developments and incremental changes.
