Urban Villages are small neighborhood centers with homes, shops, restaurants, and public spaces all within walking distance.
Current Reality: Out of 62 Urban Villages the City has 46 left to plan, and many of these unplanned Urban Villages do not yet allow for housing. There are currently 16 adopted plans and 2 in progress.
City's Goal: To speed up Urban Village planning by combining multiple plans, streamlining processes, simplifying documents, and creating defined outreach strategies that ensure community input is gathered effectively without slowing down progress.

CHANGES TO THE URBAN VILLAGE PROCESS
The City is planning to combine some Urban Villages because planning for them each separately is taking too long, and more housing is needed now.
