The Urban Design and Community Appearance section provides design ordinance implementation, evaluation and advice services to residents, property owners, developers and visitors, so they can experience a vibrant, attractive community and realize improved property values.

Oklahoma City has established a variety of design review districts. These districts are overseen by committees and commissions that apply design regulations and guidelines to new construction, rehabilitation, additions and demolitions.
