The Urban Design Program is a City of Dallas collaborative effort undertaken to bring focus, coordination and a design consciousness, more consistently to the design, planning and development management processes of the City.

​Method 

The Urban Design Program will be focused on four basic directions toward better urban design performance in Dallas through a work program involving City staff,  civic organizations, the private sector, and the general community. These four directions are:

• building an urban design understanding
• developing an urban design policy
• confirming urban design requirements as a part of public and private activities
• coordinating urban​ design activities on a day-to-day basis

​Over the next calendar year, this program will focus on development of a Urban Design definition, vision, and principles unique to the city of Dallas and it's diverse neighborhoods and geographies.
