The 2025 Atlanta Comprehensive Development Plan outlines land use policies and development patterns for the City of Atlanta, aiming to reinforce the city's physical form by encouraging density in urban cores and major corridors while supporting modest, compatible growth in other areas. The plan emphasizes appropriate development scaling, integration of community and institutional uses, and promoting flexible building types and urban design. It aligns with the Atlanta City Design's core values of Equity, Progress, Ambition, Access, and Nature, and incorporates specific Neighborhood Planning Unit policies to preserve community character and manage development effectively.

The Atlanta Beltline Strategic Plan outlines a comprehensive urban redevelopment initiative focused on achieving transformational change through community collaboration, sustainable development, and green space preservation.

The long-term vision, projected over approximately 20 years from 2011, aims to establish Atlanta as a national model for walkable, livable communities and significantly enhance the quality of life for its residents.
