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.
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.
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.
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.

Update: “MPD reports the police activity has cleared from 11th Street NW, between F and G Streets, and the associated road closures are now open.”
“Dear PoPville,
Several streets centering around 11th and G Street, NW are closed. Rumor from a guy nearby is a bomb threat (suspicious package), though police simply said “an incident.” (more…)
Featuring both voice and instrumental performance on vielle, lute, gittern, harp, recorder, douçaine, and bagpipe, the program will include works by, among others, Johannes Ciconia, Trebor, Johannes Senleches, Solage, Guillaume de Machaut, Guillaume Dufay, and Gilles Binchois, rousing dance music from medieval Florence and finely wrought instrumental arrangements from the Faenza codex and the Buxheim Organ book.

“Dear PoPville,
We wanted to share an update that single-session tickets for the 2026 Mubadala DC Open are now on sale.
Demand has been exceptionally strong this year, with the tournament already 75% sold out following record package renewals. Limited inventory remains across the stadium, and fans can now purchase single-session tickets starting at just $28, with a variety of premium seating and hospitality options also available.
As the world’s only combined ATP-WTA 500-level tournament, the Mubadala DC Open will once again bring some of the biggest names in tennis to Washington, D.C., including Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, Jack Draper, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Victoria Mboko, Venus Williams and Marta Kostyuk, and organizers are anticipating another sellout.”
Thanks to Aaron for sending this sweet Mazda Camper Van: “Never seen one of these before!”
Sweet City Ride is made possible by the Friends of the PoPville Sauntering Society!
