The Vision of <strong>Tulsa</strong>’s Future<br />

<strong>PLANiTULSA</strong><br />

Our Vision<br />

for <strong>Tulsa</strong><br />

Our Vision for <strong>Tulsa</strong> is one piece of the<br />

<strong>Comprehensive</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> that is being developed<br />

for the city through the <strong>PLANiTULSA</strong> process.<br />

The vision lays out the concepts for how a<br />

community will grow, how it will adapt to<br />

changes, which parts should be preserved,<br />

and how it will look and feel in the next<br />

several decades.<br />

AND PARTICIPANTS<br />

While thousands of <strong>Tulsa</strong>ns have contributed<br />

to <strong>PLANiTULSA</strong>, a volunteer Citizens’ Team has<br />

worked closely with City of <strong>Tulsa</strong> staff, community<br />

members, stakeholders, and the consulting team<br />

to guide the process. Citizens’Team members<br />

have spent many days reviewing analysis and<br />

findings, developing the Guiding Principles,<br />

shaping the workshop process, providing input<br />

on the scenarios, and representing <strong>Tulsa</strong>’s diverse<br />

communities. Much of <strong>PLANiTULSA</strong>’s success<br />

is owed to these leaders, who will continue to<br />

help shape the vision, the plan’s policies, and<br />

implementation steps.<br />

<strong>PLANiTULSA</strong>, <strong>Tulsa</strong>’s comprehensive plan<br />

update process, has been the work of<br />

several thousand people who love and care<br />

about our community. Their input has been<br />

gathered in public workshops, in stakeholder<br />

interviews, and through public surveys.<br />

As a result, this vision document reflects the<br />

voice of <strong>Tulsa</strong>ns and will serve to guide the<br />

next steps — creating a comprehensive plan<br />

and implementation strategy.<br />
