To help support City staff through the update process, we are forming a Community Working Group. Consisting of 40-45 members, the working group will be paid $25 an hour and meet five times over about one year beginning in spring 2026. Submit an application to become a member of the working group by Sunday, December 14 at 11:59 p.m.
Welcome! Thank you for your interest in the Imagine Austin Update. We invite you to explore this page, sign up for project updates, and check back regularly for new opportunities to participate.
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
A comprehensive plan is a community-informed roadmap that guides investments, infrastructure, and decisions across the city for decades to come.
What is Imagine Austin? Why does it exist?
The Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan is a 30-year plan that envisions an Austin where residents of all backgrounds and income levels can build a career, make a home, and find happiness near the people and places they love.
Why are we updating Imagine Austin now?
A lot has changed in our city since the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2012. Our population has grown, neighborhoods have evolved, and new challenges have emerged. This update will be clearer and more actionable and will reflect Austin’s many voices, new and old. It will help align our transportation, housing, and climate goals by providing fresh policy guidance to ensure our city moves in one clear direction.
This new version of Imagine Austin will be a tool to help us all understand how Austin grows and connects. This will support more thoughtful, flexible, and inclusive planning, and will offer an easily understood way to see where we’re headed, together.
