The Planning Department works with residents, businesses and community leaders to shape the appearance, use and development of Oklahoma City - to make Oklahoma City an even greater place to live.

That's a big order and it requires involvement and interest from the whole community. Good planning relies on information about the City's current conditions as well as citizens' hopes and dreams for the future.

Preserving the Past. Building the Future.

We work with residents, businesses and community leaders to preserve our historic neighborhoods and buildings, to maintain and improve existing neighborhoods and to promote quality development in new areas.

Efforts to create the right conditions for growth in jobs and income must always be balanced with measures to preserve natural resources and enhance community appearance.

Professional staff, commissions, community are a team

The professional planning staff works with the City Council, several appointed commissions and committees, community organizations and concerned citizens to develop and carry out plans and programs that will make our city a place our citizens are proud to call home.
