city plans
Metropolitan development documents
City plans are official documents outlining how a municipality intends to develop—where buildings can go, how land gets zoned, where roads and parks will be placed.
Urban planners and city councils create these to guide growth over years or decades: The city plans call for more affordable housing downtown.
The term also refers more casually to anyone's intentions for a city visit: What are your city plans for the weekend?
