Great City Releases Land Use White Paper

Filed Under Great City, Land Use, planning, Seattle 

Yesterday, Great City released a Land Use White Paper to the campaigns, city council, planning commission, and city leadership. The impetus for the paper was the belief that Seattle is being presented the urgent opportunity to be bold and visionary with its land use policy. Freshly elected officials, a new administration, and an economic recession that has temporarily slowed new development will provide the city a chance to reevaluate its current approach to planning and development.

It is Great City’s goal to widen the dialogue on land use, both during what remains of the campaign season and into a new administration. The white paper issues a broad challenge to Seattle’s leadership and citizenry while also providing some recommended strategies to create a more livable, economically vibrant, and socially just city. We look forward to working in partnership with new and existing leadership, the city, the non-profit community, and our citizens to do just this.
