The Master Street Plan: Blueprint for Future Development
CNU - Atlanta, Inc.Atlanta, GA
Today's comprehensive plans are operating with only 50% of their legal machinery; they are implemented primarily through zoning ordinances alone. However, zoning originally had a critical and necessary partner: the master street plan. In this brief presentation, the history, concept, and legal aspect of the master street plan will be explored relative to its role in city planning. Specifically, two questions will be addressed: What is a master street plan? and Why is a master street plan so critical in city planning?
