The Downtown Phoenix Urban Form Project is a collaborative process to comprehensively shape future growth and to help realize the city’s vision for a livelier, more integrated and sustainable Downtown. The city has embarked on this project due to heightened development interest: a variety of residential, retail, and office projects are being proposed on vacant sites throughout Downtown. The existing zoning is out of date and does not ensure that projects built will create an attractive Downtown with shade, pedestrian-oriented streets and quality design. The plan seeks to achieve a great Downtown that can be an exciting destination for the residents of Phoenix and the region. The five major components of the project are Zoning, Circulation Master Plan, Public Space Master Plan, Public Art Master Plan, and Environmental Regulations for Sustainability.
