Memphis 3.0 is a detailed process lasting two years that will produce what planners call a comprehensive plan.  Broadly speaking, the steps are to 1) identify issues; 2) state goals; 3) collect data; 4) assess current and future conditions; 5) create implementation plans; 6) evaluate alternatives; 7) adopt the plan; 8) begin actions to carry out the plan; and 9) monitor the plan and report to the public.  

 

By the time that Memphis celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2019 and enters its third century the following year, our city will have a plan for great neighborhoods, opportunity for all, special quality of life, a walkable/bikeable communities connected by effective transportation options, smart use of our land, strong connections between places and people, and more.
