Urban Design

A city is comprised of thousands of building blocks, including streets, parks and buildings. Working with residents and land owners to put those pieces together, the City's goal is to employ sound urban design principles to ensure the best quality of life for all. Dallas has numerous tools and services it employs to enhance the outcome for our built environment, including design guidelines, the Urban Design Peer Review process, advice on planning projects, creating urban design visions and policy direction. To learn more about these efforts, check out the sections below.
