Downtown Master Plan
Downtown Memphis Commission
Memphis, TN
Introduction:
The Downtown Memphis Commission (DMC), in partnership with the City of Memphis Office of Comprehensive Planning, is seeking statements of qualifications from interested firms or teams of firms with the appropriate expertise and experience to serve as a consultant to coordinate the development of a Downtown Memphis Master Plan. This planning process will set strategy and action steps to serve as a roadmap towards making Downtown Memphis a more livable, walkable, and thriving urban place. The Plan is intended to be the primary vision-setting and policy-directing strategy to lead the on-going revitalization of Downtown Memphis for the next 10 years.
While the DMC follows a strategic plan in setting its yearly work plan to pursue its dual goals of increasing commercial property values and increasing Downtown's population, a comprehensive Master Plan for Downtown does not yet exist. In addition to establishing priorities for Downtown's future land use and development, transportation network, parks and open spaces, and major development projects, the Downtown Memphis Master Plan is expected to guide real estate and infrastructure investments and planning and economic development activities going forward. The Plan will place special emphasis on the importance of good urban design and the role it plays in creating places of lasting value.
