DC is growing fast. You can be a part of shaping its future.
DC 2050 is the District’s next comprehensive plan, which determines where housing, jobs, and amenities should be located across the District. The DC Office of Planning is working on a full rewrite of the comprehensive plan based on technical research, best practices, and the community’s vision for DC’s future.
Why You Should Care
-
Do you struggle to find housing that meets your needs or your budget?
-
Do you want to see new businesses and economic activity in your neighborhood?
-
Are you concerned about the impact of new development?
-
Do you want to know more about how DC is changing and be a part of shaping that change?
DC 2050 is where these priorities are captured and turned into policies. This is the first full rewrite of DC’s comprehensive plan in over 20 years and your opportunity to share your priorities for how we grow for the next 25 years and beyond. No matter where you live in DC, if you rent or own, grew up here or came as an adult, your voice matters. Follow this project and get involved.
Your Voice Matters
When we kicked off this planning process in 2025, we committed to gathering feedback from DC residents, community organizations, and elected officials. From March 2025 to June 2026, we’ve reached over 6,600 people across all eight wards. We’ve also received thousands of comments across multiple online surveys.
If you have engaged with us, filled out our survey, or come to an event, thank you! We read every comment we receive and are working to incorporate the feedback into the draft plan.
Get Involved
We encourage you to share your input on DC’s future. There are lots of ways to stay up to date and get involved:
-
Sign up for the DC 2050 email list to get an alert when new events and requests for input are announced.
-
Attend an event, like our informal office hours at Tenley-Friendship Library on September 24, 3:30-5 pm.
-
Check out DC2050.com to learn more about the project.

“Dear PoPville,
I was at the National Air and Space museum on Saturday the 28th around noon with my nephew and some family and friends. One of the (?) volunteers in the red shirts was so friendly and awesome with the kids, including when my nephew was spewing toddler jargon and he just kind of rolled with it.
He’s cute, friendly and tall and I’m probably too old for him, but regretted not shooting my shot! (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I was going past the White House to see the cherry blossoms on Friday and I saw one tourist after another asking Secret Service and cops where they could get a good view of the White House. Nobody would give them an honest answer — they couldn’t. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I don’t have a dog in this fight except being a 100% supporter of the democratic process. But someone tore down a lot of McDuffie signs (Saturday) and put them in the trash at Eastern Market and that, I cannot abide.”
