Project Timeline
What is the Homewood Comprehensive Community Plan? In partnership with the Homewood Collaborative, the City of Pittsburgh Department of Planning, the Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority, and Homewood residents and stakeholders, the Homewood Comprehensive Community Plan aims to develop goals, recommendations, and implementation strategies to steer planning and development in Homewood for years to come. The planning team is currently working to develop a shared vision and conceptual plan for Homewood by building on past studies, initiatives, and planning efforts such as Operation Better Block’s Cluster Plan; and, by focusing on the following key areas: public health and safety, arts and culture, innovation and business development, housing, education, mobility, land use and urban design, sustainability, and workforce development.
