city plan
Metropolitan development scheme
A city plan is a comprehensive scheme for a municipality's physical development—showing where buildings, streets, parks, and utilities will go.
City planners create these documents to guide growth and land use over decades.
The city plan designated the waterfront for mixed-use development.
Also called a master plan or comprehensive plan.
